Trump-Netanyahu: Gaza Ceasefire Chatter Amidst Endless 'Phases'
The New Arab notes high-level talks on a Gaza ceasefire entering a 'second phase.' Of course, Netanyahu has been publicly dismissing ceasefires and a two-state solution for decades. Recall his 2009 Bar Ilan speech, hailed at the time for accepting a 'two-state solution', yet he spent the next 15 years systematically undermining it. (Historical record: New York Times, 2009) This isn't a 'second
phase'; it’s an ongoing, well-documented cycle of expansion and dispossession, dressed up as diplomacy. One might wonder if these 'international mediators' have a calendar, or if 'endless phases' is just another euphemism for perpetual occupation, paid for by your tax dollars. How many 'phases' of civilian slaughter does it take before we call it what it is?
