Trump's deceptive peace plan

GIVE the devil its due, they say. Donald Trump deserves a few words of praise, at least, for instituting a pause rather than a ceasefire in Gaza. After two years of ceaseless bombing, genocide and pulversation of Gaza by Israel, hundreds of thousands of its indigenous occupants who were driven out of their homes are returning. But the homes they were looking for are not there. They cannot even trace the exact location of where they lived, because Gaza has been turned into a mountain of rubble and the world’s largest waste dump. Yet, thanks to Trump, the returnees had at least one or two nights of sleep under a blue sky without fear of being bombed. Trump also needs to be thanked for admitting the failure of the socalled Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), which, in the name of mercy, weaponised food and water to starve Gazans. For a few morsels of food and bottles of water, these wretched humans risked death when contravening GHF instructions. After the deal, however, only 300 aid-carrying trucks are allowed to enter Gaza. What they carry and deliver is a pittance in comparison to the total needs of this orphaned humanity. Yet, for these, one may thank Trump once more.

To claim that the war is over and things are getting back to some normality is nothing but a hoax

But to claim that the war is over and things are getting back to some normality is nothing but a hoax. Already Israel has broken one of its promises to allow 600 aid-carrying trucks daily to enter Gaza, and Netanyahu is still refusing to open the Raffa gate. IDF killings have not ceased. Since the peace deal came into effect, Israel has killed around 100 Gazans and wounded another 250. Lately, the Knesset has approved annexation of the West Bank. Who is Trump fooling?
