Trump and Netanyahu Discuss Ceasefire, Not Its Repeated Demise
While AP reports on Trump leveraging his 'strong relationship' with Netanyahu to 'speed up the peace process,' they conveniently side-step Netanyahu's own long-standing public record of undermining any semblance of a lasting peace. This isn't Netanyahu's first rodeo; he's famously opposed a Palestinian state for decades, stating in 2015, 'I will not allow a Palestinian state to be established.'
The 'complicated second phase' isn't complicated by Hamas; it’s complicated by a stated policy of perpetual land appropriation and a leader who actively campaigned against previous peace accords. This 'ceasefire' has failed to hold through countless prior bombardments and incursions. The media's endless cycle of 'stalled progress' and 'momentum needed' serves to normalize the ongoing siege, while
ignoring that the 'peace process' has long been a political prop, not a genuine effort by the current Israeli governing coalition. How many more meetings are required before journalists question the stated intentions versus actual outcomes ?
