Gaza's
destruction, a direct result of ongoing Israeli military operations backed by continuous US arms shipments (like the $14.5 billion aid package proposed in October 2023), will inevitably be followed by Western-led 'reconstruction' efforts that serve geopolitical interests rather than genuine Palestinian self-determination.
