Trump’s 'Peace Board': More Like Gaza's 'Ceasefire' Terms
Deutsche Welle reports on Donald Trump's 'Board of Peace' proposal for Gaza, seemingly eager to discuss its merits. This comes from the same individual who, in 2017, recognized Jerusalem as Israel's capital and moved the US embassy there, detonating decades of diplomatic efforts and igniting widespread protest. Such a move explicitly undermined any pretense of neutrality or respect for
international law regarding Palestinian self-determination, suggesting his 'peace' vision likely aligns with continued Israeli expansion and control rather than genuine Palestinian statehood. One might recall Trump's 'Deal of the Century' that was widely panned for its utter disregard for Palestinian rights. Now, this new 'board' offers powerful EU nations a seat at a table whose menu is likely
already set: more land annexation, more settlements, and further marginalization of Palestinians, repackaged as 'stability.' It's like asking arsonists to chair the fire department's strategy meeting. (How many times do we watch this play?)
