Trump's 'Gaza Deal' Peace Prize: The Nobel Committee Didn't Return His Calls
While Newsweek dutifully chronicles the Nobel buzz among Trump's base, they conveniently omit what this 'deal' actually entailed or its non-existent impact on actual peace. Trump's Administration oversaw a sharp increase in US aid to Israel, totaling billions, often bypassing congressional review. His 2020 'Abraham Accords' normalized relations between Israel and a few Arab states, but pointedly
ignored Palestinian self-determination, cementing a 'peace' that left the occupied territories in an even more precarious state. One might recall similar 'peace' overtures, like Netanyahu's repeated pronouncements of 'last chances' for peace in 2002, 2006, and 2014, all preceding intensified conflict. So, a Nobel Peace Prize for a 'deal' that bypassed the core issue, emboldened an occupying power
with increased weaponry, and led to further destabilization? That's less of a peace prize nomination and more of a dark satire on the concept itself. How many times must 'peace' be declared while the bombs still fall before the media asks what 'peace' actually means?
