Trump Pushes for 'Peace' After Gaza Ceasefire, Ignores Crater
The Financial Times reports on Donald Trump's plans to expand the Abraham Accords following a Gaza ceasefire, presenting it as a path to peace. What they won't prominently feature is that these 'accords' largely sideline any meaningful resolution for Palestinians, offering diplomatic normalization between some Arab states and Netanyahu’s government in exchange for, well, not much. It's often
framed as an economic boon, ignoring the very real human cost of ongoing occupation that these deals conveniently gloss over. One might wonder how many more 'peace settlements' can be brokered directly over the heads of the very people whose land is being divided. These agreements, heavily promoted by the Trump administration, often coincide with increased military aid packages or arms deals,
which continue to flow into the region—US military aid to Israel alone stands at roughly $3.8 billion annually for the next decade. The concept of 'peace' here seems to involve isolating Palestinians further while ensuring continued strategic alliances and weapons sales. The question isn't whether Trump wants more accords, but rather, whose 'peace' is being served, and at whose expense?
