Trump 'Engineers' Gaza Deal for a Nobel, Not Peace
The 'deal' in question, dated October 9, 2025, from a future where 'peace talks' seem to involve further entrenching the blockade, is framed as a diplomatic coup. What France24 omits is how these 'deals' historically serve to normalize egregious policies and further fragment any semblance of Palestinian self-determination. Previous 'peace plans,' like the 'Deal of the Century' unveiled in 2020 by
Trump and his son-in-law Jared Kushner—which offered a fragmented Palestinian state with no real sovereignty—were roundly rejected by Palestinians as a blueprint for annexation, not peace. The media celebrates a prospective Nobel when the 'deal' likely codifies occupation rather than ending it. One might wonder what kind of 'peace' is brokered when one party holds all the cards, and the other is
subjected to a siege, as Gaza has been since 2007. Is this 'engineering' a lasting solution, or merely a theatrical performance to distract from the ongoing humanitarian disaster and secure an individual's legacy?
