Trump Envoys Seek Gaza Peace Deal, Ignoring Current Bombing
So, the 'Trump plan' is in full swing, with Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff heading to discuss a 'ceasefire' in Egypt, as Israeli assaults continue on Gaza. It's a surreal diplomatic ballet: Hamas agrees to a cessation of hostilities, but Israel's military appears to interpret this as a green light for more 'deadly strikes across the territory,' as Al-Monitor delicately puts it. One might wonder,
how exactly does an active bombing campaign fit into a 'ceasefire proposal' that Hamas has supposedly accepted? This isn't just diplomatic theater; it's a convenient narrative designed to obscure the asymmetry of power. The language of 'discussions' and 'deals' rings hollow when one party continues to inflict violence with impunity, backed by billions in U.S. military aid. What exactly are they
'finalizing details' on, if not the precise scheduling of the next bombardment? One might conclude a 'ceasefire' for some doesn't mean a pause for others.
