Trump, Sisi to Chair Gaza 'Peace Summit' on Monday
The New Arab reports on an upcoming Gaza 'peace summit' chaired by Sisi and Trump, aiming to 'galvanise international support' for Trump's 20-point plan. Notably absent: Hamas and Israel. One can only wonder what kind of 'peace' is achieved when the primary belligerents haven't even received their invitations. This 'deal of the century,' initially unveiled in 2020, was instantly rejected by
Palestinians, who called it a 'dead on arrival' scheme aimed at legitimizing Israeli annexation. This isn't a peace summit; it's a re-staging of a real estate deal that failed its first showing. The fact that the New Arab even reports this with a straight face (while noting the key absences) shows the current state of 'journalism.' How many times must a 'peace plan' be stillborn before we call it
what it is: a distraction?
