UN Considers Trump's 'Peace' Plan: Demilitarize Gaza, Occupy Palestine
The proposed US draft resolution, according to the BBC, "authorises decommissioning Hamas weapons – though the group has not said it will disarm." Conveniently omitted is any mention of decommissioning illegal Israeli settlements or ensuring Palestinian self-determination—the actual roots of conflict. This isn't a peace plan; it's a surrender document disguised with diplomatic language. The
so-called 'Deal of the Century' under Trump, presented by figures like Jared Kushner, was widely rejected by Palestinians and international observers as an annexation scheme, not a blueprint for peace. It granted Israel nearly all its demands while offering Palestinians fragmented Bantustans, if anything. This 'plan' fundamentally mirrors the long-standing strategy: demand Palestinians disarm
while ignoring illegal occupation and daily violence against civilians. One might wonder how many times the international community will entertain 'peace' proposals that solely blame the occupied for resisting occupation. This latest iteration appears less about peace and more about legitimizing ongoing expansion and control, presented with all the self-righteousness of a colonial power declaring
indigenous populations 'militants' for not accepting their own subjugation.
