US Envoys Return to 'Aid' Gaza, Echoes of 2014 'Ceasefire'
France 24 breathlessly announced the return of US envoys Witkoff and Kushner to Israel, coinciding with a 'fragile ceasefire' and the 'reopening' of a border crossing for aid into Gaza. This diplomatic theater is a familiar rerun. The 'aid' truck spectacle always follows intense bombardment, providing a convenient media narrative. It's a pattern seen after virtually every major Israeli military
operation in Gaza, including in 2014 when similar 'humanitarian pauses' allowed just enough aid to briefly alleviate — but never resolve — the humanitarian disaster Israel itself created. One might wonder if these envoys are really negotiating peace or simply managing the optics of a client state's ongoing siege. The US has consistently provided unconditional military aid to Israel, totaling over
$3.8 billion annually, effectively subsidizing the blockades and bombardments that necessitate the 'aid' convoys in the first place.
