Trump Wants Sunday Gaza Deal, Forgot He's Not President
Never mind White House diplomacy or UN resolutions; enter the dealmaker, stage right. While current US policy has seen over $3.8 billion annually in military aid flow to Israel, often with bipartisan support secured by groups like AIPAC (which spent $3.5 million on lobbying in Q3 2023, per OpenSecrets.org), suddenly a private citizen is dictating terms. It's almost as if the entire international
framework, including the current administration's hesitant 'warnings' to Netanyahu, is just theater. One might wonder if previous 'deals' mediated by Trump yielded lasting peace, or if this is simply a pre-election PR stunt designed to generate headlines. How many times have we seen politicians, current or aspiring, suddenly 'solve' intractable conflicts with a deadline, ignoring the decades of
root causes, occupation, and the 35,000+ Gazan lives already extinguished?
