The reality is that Trump’s “peace plan” is never going to be meaningfully realised – and is not intended to be. Gaza was already one of the most densely populated places on earth. How is its surviving population of two million or so to be crammed into half the space, with no homes and all its hospitals and schools either bombed into rubble or out of reach? In truth, this is simply a way to justify prolonging a living hell for Gaza’s population under cover of a “peace plan”. Israel had exhausted world sympathy to the point where western leaders’ complicity in the genocide had become too visible to conceal. Now rather than having Israeli military officials on air spouting self-evident lies about only targeting Hamas fighters, we will have US officials explaining – with the help of far more savvy public relations teams – how they are struggling under insuperable odds to improve the situation of Palestinians. Anyone refused entry into the Green Zone will be presented as Hamas or an ally of Hamas. Families in the Red Zone killed with US-supplied bombs will be terrorists by definition. The new “barbarians at the gate”. The western media will finally be placated, as its genocide-complicit correspondents are ushered into Gaza – but only into the Green Zone. There, they will be guided around model “safe communities”, where they can busy themselves airing footage of afflicted Palestinians fleeing Hamas and being offered respite. Meanwhile, the vast majority of Palestinians will struggle to survive the winter without shelter and significant aid, with no hospitals and no schools for their children. All while being indiscriminately bombed by Israel. This is the only “peace” Trump is offering. Read the rest of my latest article Trump is turning Gaza into a brutal colonial protection racket here:
