US-led 'Ceasefire' Center Oversees.. What Exactly?
According to the AP, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio toured a new U.S.-led monitoring center in Israel for the 'Gaza ceasefire,' with the goal of 'stabilization and reconstruction.' (One might ask, 'reconstruction of what, exactly?') This diplomatic photo op, featuring U.S. troops alongside delegations from allied nations, follows Vice President JD Vance’s visit earlier. Rubio expressed pride
in the 'first 10 days' of implementation of this 'tenuous truce.' What the AP conveniently omits is the consistent pattern: U.S. officials repeatedly visit Israel, declare 'support for peace,' and then approve more arms transfers. While Rubio praises 'stabilization,' the U.S. continues to greenlight advanced weaponry like F-35s and bombs that have created the very 'instability' they now claim to
fix. Senator Rubio, for instance, has a long record of consistently voting for aid packages to Israel; per OpenSecrets.org, his campaign received $21,150 from pro-Israel groups in the 2022 cycle alone. One might wonder if 'ceasefire oversight' is just PR for managing the aftermath of actions their own policies enable.
