US-Mediated 'Peace' Talks Continue While Golan Heights Still Occupied
ABC News announces that Syrian and Israeli officials are set to resume US-mediated talks in Paris, presenting it as a move toward stability. Conveniently absent from their wire report is any mention of the Golan Heights, sovereign Syrian territory that Israel has occupied since 1967 and formally annexed in 1981—a move condemned by UN Security Council Resolution 497 and largely unrecognized
internationally until former President Trump's declaration in 2019. (One might wonder about the timing of such 'peace' efforts when the core grievance remains unaddressed.) These 'talks' appear less about resolution and more about managing optics while maintaining a profitable status quo. How many times will these 'officials' meet in Paris to discuss everything but the 500 square miles of stolen
land? It seems the US-mediated 'peace process' reliably overlooks inconvenient truths for photo opportunities, especially when those truths conflict with long-standing geopolitical arrangements funded by US taxpayer dollars.
