US Drafts 'Peace Plan' for Gaza, Skips Palestine's Input
The US is moving to ram through a UN resolution for a two-year 'transitional governance' and 'stabilization force' in Gaza, according to Al-Monitor. This visionary 'peace plan' is presented as if it sprouted from thin air, completely detached from the 76 years of Palestinian dispossession or the current humanitarian catastrophe. It's a classic move: propose a 'solution' after facilitating the
problem, then call it progress. One might wonder how a 'peace plan' for Gaza gets drafted without any meaningful consultation with Palestinians themselves, or why the 'stabilization force' wasn't proposed before 37,000+ deaths. Perhaps the US negotiator's office forgot to dial Ramallah or Gaza City. Or perhaps, like previous plans, the 'two-state solution' is really a one-state solution with extra
bureaucracy and a permanent occupation dressed in blue helmets.
