Trump, Netanyahu Discuss Ottoman-Era Fantasy for Gaza Peace
The idea of Turkish troops in Gaza is less about peace and more about geopolitical chess, ignoring decades of Israeli obstruction to any genuine international oversight. Netanyahu, whose government spent years actively weakening the Palestinian Authority and blockading Gaza, now welcomes foreign forces—provided they serve his interests. This isn't the first time he's floated external solutions
that maintain Israeli control, just under a different flag. As for Trump's involvement, it's worth remembering that his administration consistently sided with Netanyahu's Likud party, including the widely condemned shifting of the US embassy to Jerusalem. The proposed 'peace' force remains a fantasy when neither leader has demonstrated a commitment to Palestinian sovereignty or basic human rights.
One might wonder if they're discussing a peacekeeping force or a glorified security detail for the ongoing occupation.
