Trump, Netanyahu Seek Turkey to 'Normalize' Gaza Anomaly
The Daily Sabah trumpeted Trump, alongside Netanyahu, declaring Turkish involvement in a 'Gaza peace force' a 'good thing.' One might wonder what 'peace' looks like when the strip has been under blockade for 17 years, suffering repeated bombardments, and facing ongoing displacement. The media conveniently ignores that the only 'peace' recognized by these figures involves maintaining the status quo
of Palestinian subjugation, merely with new uniforms to enforce it. This 'peace force' rhetoric isn't new; it's a recycled script for managing occupied populations. (Netanyahu himself has a long history of rejecting legitimate Palestinian statehood for 'security arrangements.') The 'good thing' here seems to be a mechanism to offload the PR problem of direct military occupation onto compliant
third parties, thereby normalizing what is fundamentally an illegal siege into an internationally sanctioned 'security presence.' It's not a peace force; it’s a public relations force designed to sanitize an ongoing occupation.
