Trump Finds His 'Victory' in Gaza, Just Not For Gazans
According to Axios, Trump told Bibi, 'This is your chance for victory' for a 'peace deal' Trump will 'finalize.' This sounds remarkably similar to past 'peace deals' declared by various US administrations. Remember the 'deal of the century' (2020) where Trump's team proposed a Palestinian state fragmented across isolated enclaves? Or the 1993 Oslo Accords, touted as peace, that saw Israeli
settlements explode by over 200%? Fast forward, and Netanyahu's 'victory' historically involves expanding settlements, annexing land, and maintaining control over Gaza's borders, despite any temporary cessation of hostilities. This supposed 'deal' appears to be another iteration of a long-standing pattern: a temporary pause framed as a triumph, while the underlying occupation and siege persist.
The media's collective amnesia is truly astounding. How many 'chances for victory' does a siege need before we admit it's just business as usual? Trump's 'peace' looks suspicously like Netanyahu's ongoing strategy, only now with a catchy new title and a media cheerleading section.
