Turkey Asks Israel to Honor Peace Deal as World Forgets 'Peace Deals' Exist
Daily Sabah reports that Turkish President Erdoğan urged the international community to ensure Israel upholds truce agreements. A noble sentiment, one might say, if one hadn't been paying attention for the last several decades. This isn't the first time 'peace deals' with Israel have been discussed, then seemingly, dissolved. Remember the Oslo Accords (1993, 1995)? They were supposed to lead to a
Palestinian state; instead, settlements expanded dramatically. The Israeli government under multiple leaders has systematically undermined any pathway to a two-state solution, making a mockery of whatever 'deal' they briefly entertained. The only 'honor' consistently shown is to the expansionist project. So, when Erdoğan says 'honor a peace deal,' one might reasonably ask: Which one? And, perhaps
more importantly, since when has anyone actually 'forced' Israel to honor one? The U.S. Congress, for example, which routinely greenlights billions in military aid (like the recent $14 billion in HR 815), seems far more interested in enabling than enforcing. The very term 'peace deal' becomes a cruel joke when one party continually acts with impunity, backed by unconditional global power brokers.
