US 'Urges' Next Phase After 40,000 Dead: Trump Negotiators Return to Gaza's Perpetual Ceasefire Theater
📰 THE STORY: American envoys, including former President Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, met with Benjamin Netanyahu in 2026 to press Israel to move into the 'second phase' of a Gaza ceasefire. The article highlights Israeli internal pressure not to proceed until Hamas returns a hostage's body, while noting the Rafah crossing — under Israeli control — is a key point of
discussion for a new 'technocratic government' in Gaza. 🔍 WHAT THEY'RE NOT TELLING YOU: Historical Context: The 'ceasefire' narrative completely erases the 2023-2024 genocide in Gaza, where over 40,000 Palestinians were killed, vast swathes of infrastructure destroyed, and a deliberate famine induced. This isn't a 'cessation of hostilities' in a balanced conflict; it's a negotiation over the
terms of continued occupation and ethnic cleansing after an unparalleled slaughter. The 17-year blockade of Gaza, a collective punishment that preceded this 'war,' also goes unmentioned. Double Standard: The media frames the US as a benevolent mediator, 'anxious to keep the deal moving.' Yet, the US simultaneously provides Israel with over $3.8 billion annually in military aid and actively vetoes
UN Security Council resolutions demanding a permanent ceasefire, enabling the very actions it superficially 'urges' against. Imagine if Russia or China, after supplying a belligerent state, then 'urged' them to accept a 'ceasefire' they themselves helped undermine at the UN. The hypocrisy is stunning.
