US Announces 'Ceasefire Phase 2' as Gaza Faces 'Frustration & Despair'
The Biden administration, which continues to arm the exact conflict it purports to be mediating, is now on 'Phase 2' of a ceasefire plan. This meticulously staged diplomatic theater conveniently ignores nearly eight decades of Palestinian displacement and occupation. The 'frustration and despair' Hind Khoudary reports from Gaza isn't new; it's the natural consequence of a 'peace process' that has
historically provided cover for continued land grabs and violence, much like the Oslo Accords did. While Washington talks 'phases,' it continues to greenlight weaponry. Just last month, the Biden administration approved another $300 million in aid, including cluster munitions, for Netanyahu's government. This comes after Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-MD) collected $169,500 from AIPAC-affiliated donors in
2022, only to consistently vote for unconditional military aid packages (roll call vote H.R. 2487 on X date for relevant example). The 'phases' are just a new coat of paint on a very old, very bloody occupation.
