Trump Announces 'Board of Peace' as Israel Kills Two in Gaza
While headlines highlight the tragic but routine violence in Gaza, the immediate juxtaposition with Trump's new 'Board of Peace' announcement reads less like irony and more like a macabre punchline. This 'peace board,' much like previous 'peace plans,' consistently ignores the foundational issue: a decades-long military occupation and blockade. Recall the 'Deal of the Century'—another peace
initiative that, shocker, involved no actual input from Palestinians. It's a pattern: grand pronouncements of 'peace' always seem to coincide with more violence on the ground, almost as if these 'solutions' are designed to maintain the status quo. The question isn't whether Trump's new board will achieve peace, but how many civilian casualties will accumulate while successive US administrations
pretend 'peace' is achievable without addressing fundamental human rights and international law. It's a diplomatic Kabuki theater, where the 'act' of seeking peace is more important than achieving it, especially when lucrative arms deals and geopolitical leverage are on the table.
