UN Backs 'Peace Plan' for Gaza, Overseen by Trump in 2025?
The AP breathlessly details a UN-backed 'plan' for Gaza's future, featuring US President Donald Trump as its de facto ruler in 2025, chairing a 'Board of Peace' with a U.N. mandate. This astonishing detail, barely contextualized, appears two paragraphs into their reporting as if it's a minor twist. One might wonder if the US government, having supplied the weapons that leveled Gaza, now finds it
expedient to offload the reconstruction to a reality TV show host in 2025. The idea of an 'international body' governing a pulverized Gaza, following a campaign of destruction largely facilitated by US armaments and diplomatic cover, isn't a 'twist'; it's a darkly comedic echo of colonial aspirations. While the AP worries about Palestinians' 'acceptance,' it conveniently overlooks their agency or
the decades of similar 'plans' that have consistently ignored their sovereignty. The timeline is suspect, the architect laughable, and the chance of success, much like the notion of a Palestinian state after all this, seems designed to fail.
