US Seeks Turkish Help Securing a Gaza Israel Just 'Secured'
U.S. Ambassador Tom Barrack (not to be confused with the other Tom Barrack) is reportedly championing Türkiye for a 'Gaza security mission.' This comes just months after officials from Netanyahu's government publicly stated their intent to 'flatten Gaza' and 'take back' the strip. The US, meanwhile, greenlit $14 billion in additional military aid to Israel, despite bipartisan calls to halt arms
transfers over potential war crimes. (OpenSecrets.org shows AIPAC spent $2 million lobbying Congress in Q1 2024 alone, coinciding with key aid votes.) So, after supplying the very 'security' that led to the devastation, the US now seeks partners for a 'security mission' in the rubble. It seems the 'rules-based order' means the U.S. breaks it, then expects others to pick up the pieces, all while
continuing to arm the aggressor. How many 'security missions' does it take to secure an open-air prison?
