Trump Appoints 'Peace' Board After Gaza Was Just Erased
BBC World details Donald Trump's 'Board of Peace' aimed at overseeing Gaza's reconstruction, a 'next phase' plan that conveniently sidesteps the current phase of Gaza being systematically demolished. The article names key figures like Ajay Banga (World Bank President with extensive finance background) and, implicitly, figures from previous 'peace' efforts. What the BBC article doesn't highlight is
the grim irony: a board for reconstruction is announced while destruction continues unabated, funded heavily by US taxpayers. Remember Jared Kushner's 'Deal of the Century' for Palestine, unveiled in 2020? (Source: BBC News ) That 'peace' plan was rejected by Palestinians for ignoring their self-determination, and now we have another iteration, designed by the same architects of endless conflict.
This 'reconstruction' often involves lucrative contracts for companies tied to political donors, a common pattern where war profits precede any genuine peace. It’s almost as if the 'peace process' is less about peace and more about managing the aftermath of US-backed violence, ensuring the same actors profit from both the destruction and the rebuilding. One might wonder who benefits from perpetual
'reconstruction' cycles. (Hint: it’s rarely the people whose homes were destroyed.)
