"Just when you thought prospects for the future of the Gaza Strip could not get any bleaker, United States President Donald Trump has unveiled his 20-point peace plan for the Palestinian territory, starring himself as the chair of a Board of Peace that will serve as a transitional government in the enclave. This from the man who has been actively aiding and abetting Israel's genocide of Palestinians since January, when he took over the US presidency from former honorary genocidaire Joe Biden."
"To be sure, importing a Sir Tony Blair from the United Kingdom to oversee an enclave of Palestinians smacks rather hard of colonialism in a region that is already quite familiar with the phenomenon. And yet the region is also already quite familiar with Blair himself, owing in particular to his notorious performance during the 2003 war on Iraq, led by his buddy and then-chief of the so-called war on terror, George W Bush."
President Donald Trump unveiled a 20-point Gaza peace plan that establishes a Board of Peace as a transitional government for the Gaza Strip. Tony Blair is slated to play a significant governing role on the board. Blair's appointment evokes colonial dynamics and controversy due to his role in the 2003 Iraq War and accusations of steering the UK into a conflict based on false WMD claims. The plan aligns with continued U.S. support for Israeli actions in Gaza and frames reconstruction as an investment opportunity, raising concerns about governance, accountability, and profit-driven control over Palestinian territory.
