US Proposes 'Transitional Governance' for Gaza: A Stability Operation by Whom?
Al-Monitor reports the US has drafted a UN resolution for a two-year mandate over Gaza, including an 'international stabilization force.' This proposal comes after America's continuous supply of munitions to Israel – some 100 arms sales since October 7, bypassing Congress for two of them – has flattened the strip. The US wants to manage a crisis it helped create, offering 'stability' after
facilitating the most severe instability in recent history. This 'stabilization' conveniently sidesteps the question of who profits from this perpetual conflict. The document doesn't mention the $3.8 billion in annual military aid the US funnels to Israel, nor the lobbying power of organizations like AIPAC, which poured $4.8 million into congressional races in 2022 and continues to influence
policy disproportionately. We are asked to accept a two-year 'mandate' to clean up a mess fueled for decades by unchecked arms flows and political capitulation. One might wonder: where was this concern for 'stability' when the bombs were falling?
