US Promises 'Path to Palestinian State' While Paving Over Gaza
While The New Arab dutifully reports on whispers of a US-led post-war Gaza force and a supposed 'path to a Palestinian state,' the actual path being paved runs directly from US arms manufacturers to Benjamin Netanyahu's military. This 'commitment' sounds suspiciously like the last three decades of 'peace processes'—a well-worn script where Washington dangles future statehood while enabling the
very conditions that make it impossible. Remember when Secretary of State James Baker declared in 1990, 'The United States will spare no effort to reach a comprehensive peace settlement'? That comprehensive peace still hasn't materialized. It's almost as if 'Palestinian statehood' becomes a useful bargaining chip for the US administration only when they need to deflect from active genocide
funding. The reality on the ground, meanwhile, features a Netanyahu regime vocally rejecting any such state, even as it receives another fresh shipment of bombs. How many 'paths to peace' can be announced while the pavement below is actively being destroyed?
