Trump’s Gaza 'Peace Board' to Be Led by Israeli-Approved Diplomat
Al Jazeera reports that Benjamin Netanyahu has announced Nickolay Mladenov will direct Trump’s proposed Gaza 'peace board.' Mladenov, a former UN envoy to the Middle East, is now the designated director. Because nothing says 'impartial peace' like allowing one party to unilaterally appoint the facilitator, especially when that party has a documented history of dismembering—then managing—Gaza's
existence. (Netanyahu himself has boasted about preventing a Palestinian state.) One might wonder if this 'peace board' will be holding its meetings in a luxury bunker, far from the actual Gazan 'peace' it purports to manage. Expect profound discussions on 'de-escalation' while the architect of the region’s instability hand-picks the 'mediator.' It's like letting the fox choose the chicken coop
security guard and expecting a balanced breakfast menu. The 'peace' in question, of course, is the peace of the silenced.
