Trump Finds Magical Middle East Allies for Gaza Cleanup
Trump, ever the reality TV showman, claims regional partners are lining up to send troops into Gaza for a robust 'straightening out' operation on Hamas if a ceasefire collapses. This, of course, ignores that these same 'allies' have shown zero inclination – or capability – for such interventions in two decades of 'conflict.' Recall the 2008-09, 2012, and 2014 Gaza escalations? No Arab armies
materialized. Perhaps they're waiting for a call from a golden phone? The media dutifully reports this fantasy as if it's a coherent strategy, instead of the usual rhetorical fluff designed to distract from the actual humanitarian catastrophe. The real strategy seems to be endless war funded by US taxpayers, while politicians posture and pretend someone else will clean up the mess. (Spoiler: No
one but Gazans clean up Gaza.)
