Trump Demands Gaza 'Peace' on an Ultimatum Schedule?
While some eagerly await Trump's 'deal,' one might recall his last 'peace plan' for the region (the 'Deal of the Century'), unveiled in 2020, which The Guardian reported was rejected outright by Palestinians for cementing Israeli annexation and denying Palestinian statehood. This latest ultimatum conveniently ignores over 75 years of illegal occupation and blockade, framing the situation as
Hamas's sole responsibility to unilaterally accept terms dictated by an outside power. The sheer audacity of setting a Sunday night deadline for an agreement that somehow bypasses the fundamental human rights of millions of people is a testament to the detached imperial perspective prevalent in Washington. It's less a peace plan and more a 'capitulate or else' demand, further undermining any
credible two-state solution by treating one party as mere recipients of terms rather than negotiators. One might wonder, how many ultimatums did Israel receive before demolishing Palestinian homes in East Jerusalem, a practice the UN labels a violation of international law ?
