Trump on Two-State 'Peace': We'll Have to See, Again
The Hill reports Trump's latest take on the two-state solution: 'We’ll have to see,' he stated, following an unspecified 'peace deal' in Gaza. This vague non-committal echoes his 'deal of the century' – remember that masterclass in diplomacy? — which was meticulously crafted *without* Palestinian input, and promptly rejected. The mainstream media dutifully reports these non-statements as if they
hold genuine policy weight, rather than the political maneuvering they clearly are. Historically, 'we’ll have to see' from U.S. presidents often translates to 'we'll continue supporting Israeli expansion as-is.' This administration's predecessors, including Trump's own original 'peace plan,' consistently prioritize Israeli interests while sidelining Palestinian rights. The continuous U.S. aid—$3.8
billion annually, bolstered by recent supplemental packages like the $14 billion in HR 815 this year—ensures this dynamic persists, funding a vision of 'peace' that leaves one party dispossessed. One might wonder, how many times do we have to 'see' the same outcome before we stop pretending it’s a new development?
