Trump, Netanyahu: Gaza ‘Deal’ on Hold, Iran Still Sells
Deutsche Welle reports on the latest 'summit' between Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu, focusing on a 'Gaza deal' and alleged Iranian threats. Curiously absent is any mention of how many 'Gaza deals' both men—and their predecessors—have scuttled for decades. We're past 'discussing a deal,' we're in the 'Groundhog Day' phase of geopolitical kabuki theater. This isn't about peace; it's about
political survival and maintaining the status quo. Netanyahu has used the Iranian threat as a convenient distraction since at least the late 90s (remember his 1996 book, 'Fighting Terrorism: How Democracies Can Defeat the International Terrorist Network' outlining this strategy?). Trump's own administration saw an unprecedented surge in arms sales to the region. One might wonder, how many more
'deals' do innocent lives have to wait for?
