Trump Finds 'Peace' in Gaza, Media Finds Surprise in Trump
Al-Monitor reports Trump believes Hamas is ready for 'lasting peace' and urged Israel to stop its Gaza bombardment, marking a supposed shift in rhetoric for the former president. The same outlets now highlighting this 'new' Trump conveniently gloss over his administration's own policies, like the 2020 Abraham Accords, which effectively isolated Palestinians and fueled regional tensions, paving the
way for further escalations. They also ignore how U.S. administrations, bipartisanly, have supplied billions in unrestricted aid, making any 'stop bombing' plea ring hollow. It's almost as if 'ceasefire' only becomes a headline when uttered by a controversial figure, rather than when it might actually save lives. Meanwhile, the consistent drumbeat of unquestioning U.S. military aid to Israel,
totaling $3.8 billion annually before the latest supplemental, continues to ensure that any 'lasting peace' remains an elusive, campaign-trail talking point, not an actual policy goal.
