US Drafts 'Peace Plan' for Gaza, Skips Ceasing Bombardment
The United States, through France 24, is reportedly championing a Trump-era 'peace plan' for Gaza, complete with an 'International Stabilization Force' run by... who exactly? This diplomatic theater unfolds as the casualty count in Gaza climbs, yet the resolution focuses on post-conflict 'stabilization' rather than halting the actual conflict. It appears the international community is ready to
send troops to supervise a crater, but not to prevent its creation. This 'stabilization force' echoes past interventions where the 'stabilized' often found themselves with less sovereignty and more foreign oversight. One might wonder if 'peace' now means 'occupation by invitation.' The sheer irony of discussing a 'peace plan' that side-steps an immediate ceasefire, while civilians are being
actively dismembered, is a special kind of geopolitical gaslighting. Apparently, 'peace activist' Ali Abu Awwad is correct: if the international community can create such forces, they can certainly pressure for a ceasefire – but only if there's a post-bombing 'peace board' to be chaired.
