Trump Announces Israel's 'Initial Withdrawal Line,' Skips Gaza's Ongoing Siege
When Trump—or any mainstream outlet—announces an 'initial withdrawal line' for Israel from Gaza, one wonders if they've checked a calendar. Israel 'withdrew' from Gaza settlements in 2005, only to maintain an air, land, and sea blockade that turned the strip into an open-air prison, controlling everything from cement to calories for its 2 million inhabitants. This isn't a new strategy, it's a
re-run of a bad movie, with every 'withdrawal' simply redefining the cage. The media frames this as a potential de-escalation, ignoring that every supposed Israeli 'peace' initiative has been followed by more land confiscation, more siege, and more violence. How many 'initial withdrawals' does it take before we acknowledge the goal isn't withdrawal, but control—or, as critics suggest, ethnic
cleansing?
