US Unveils Gaza 'Governance': The 'Plan' Always Was to Hand Over the Keys
Al-Monitor reports US envoy Steve Witkoff warned Hamas of 'serious consequences' if they don't comply with Washington's latest Gaza 'governance plan.' One might infer 'compliance' means accepting a leadership pre-selected by powers who've spent decades backing policies that decimated Palestine. This isn't just about 'disarming Hamas'; it's about disarming any legitimate Palestinian resistance to a
50-year occupation. The 'plan' echoes historical US-backed attempts to install compliant regimes, like after the 2006 Palestinian elections when the US championed a coup against the democratically elected Hamas. The cycle of 'peace plans' always seems to involve dictating leadership while maintaining military aid to the very forces destroying the territory they now wish to 'govern.' One has to
wonder how many times the US gets to redraw the map before anyone calls it a colonial intervention with extra steps.
