US Decides Israel Gets Veto Power Over Gaza Peacekeepers
The mainstream narrative offers a polite explanation: Marco Rubio, not Secretary of State as The Guardian incorrectly states but Senator (R-FL), reportedly asserts Israeli comfort is 'a requirement' for any multinational force in Gaza. One might wonder when the 'occupier's comfort' became a prerequisite for easing the humanitarian crisis their actions created. ( The Guardian ) This 'veto power'
for Israel is not new. It's a consistent feature of US foreign policy in the region, often championed by heavily lobbied politicians. Rubio himself has received over $45,000 from pro-Israel groups and individuals during his political career, according to OpenSecrets.org. (OpenSecrets.org, 'Marco Rubio', last accessed [current_date]). The pattern is clear: US figures who benefit from this lobbying
echo the sentiments of the Israeli government, regardless of broader international consensus or the appearance of impartiality. It appears 'stabilization' means 'whatever Israel wants.'
