US 'Peace' Plan: Oil for Erasure, Again
The U.S. is reportedly orchestrating a Netanyahu-Sisi summit, contingent on Israel approving a gas deal with Egypt. Axios touts this as 'economic diplomacy,' creating 'interdependence' and 'warmer peace.' One might wonder how 'interdependence' based on fossil fuels has ever truly prevented conflict, especially when the region's existing gas resources—particularly those off the coast of Gaza—have a
rather inconvenient history. Jared Kushner, architect of the original 'deal of the century,' now advises Netanyahu to 'explore business opportunities' post-war, promoting 'tech and AI' leverage. This isn't groundbreaking diplomacy; it's the privatization of foreign policy. It’s the same old tune: 'stabilize the Gaza ceasefire' while quietly ensuring resource control and strategic alignment under
the guise of an economic 'peace process.' How many times have 'peace processes' been launched over resources, only to fuel further displacement?
