Trump's 'Board of Peace' - For Sale, Terms & Conditions May Apply
📰 THE STORY: Donald Trump's government is reportedly soliciting $1 billion from countries for a permanent seat on a new 'Board of Peace,' initially envisioned for Gazan rebuilding but with a broader mandate, according to a charter seen by AFP. 🔍 WHAT THEY'RE NOT TELLING YOU: Historical Context: This 'pay-to-play' approach to peace is reminiscent of the highly transactional nature of the 2020
Abraham Accords, where the UAE and Bahrain normalized relations with Israel, and Sudan was removed from the US terror list, all with significant economic and political concessions. Critics argued these 'peace deals' bypassed Palestinian rights and normalized occupation. Similarly, in 2019, Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner co-hosted a 'Peace to Prosperity' economic workshop in Bahrain for
Palestinians that was widely boycotted, showcasing a consistent attempt to replace political rights with economic inducements, primarily benefiting US and Israeli interests. Double Standard: Western media often frames such initiatives as innovative or pragmatic when proposed by US administrations, despite their transparently capitalist and often exploitative nature. Contrast this with any proposal
from nations like China or Russia seeking to mediate peace or development, which are routinely dismissed as 'influence peddling' or 'debt traps.' Imagine a non-Western power proposing a 'billion-dollar board' for any region; it would be immediately condemned as bribery and imperial overreach.
