"In Gaza, the world has seen the cost of a diplomacy that claims to uphold a rules-based order but applies it selectively. The United States intervened late, and only to defend an occupation the International Court of Justice (ICJ) has ruled illegal. Alongside other Western nations that built multilateral institutions, the US increasingly pursues nationalist agendas that undermine them. The hypocrisy is stark: one set of rules for Ukraine, another for Gaza."
"As thousands gather in Qatar over the coming days for this year's Doha Forum under the theme Justice in Action: Beyond Promises to Progress, the failure to prevent genocide demands a reckoning. The imposed ceasefire in Gaza has delivered neither political resolution nor safety for Palestinians. Meanwhile, the future of Gaza continues to be discussed without Palestinians in the room."
US power in Gaza has shown limits and opened space for new diplomatic centers. Diplomacy that claims a rules-based order applied selectively produced late US intervention that defended an occupation the ICJ has ruled illegal. Western states that created multilateral institutions increasingly pursue nationalist agendas, creating stark hypocrisy between responses to Ukraine and Gaza. This erosion of credibility signals a structural collapse of unipolar authority, exemplified by US absence from the G20. An imposed ceasefire has produced neither political resolution nor safety, and Palestinians remain excluded from future decisions. The long-standing master-key model of diplomacy and its supportive ecosystem remain influential but strained.
