Netanyahu Thought He Was Safe; The New Map Of Gaza Had Other Ideas

Trump’s Board of Peace was supposed to control Gaza’s ceasefire; Israel shifted the borders in another land grab, and left Trump holding the baby. Right, so Donald Trump’s Board of Peace had one job in Gaza, and Israel has just made that job look even more of a sick joke than it already was. The job was to make the Gaza ceasefire look like it meant something, allegedly to stop the fighting, to get aid in, to hold Israel to a line, and to make their post-war shenanigans look like more than just a brass plaque on a door and someone’s name on a desk. Well Israel has just set fire to that mindset wholesale. Israel has you see, whilst going completely unreported of course moved beyond the Yellow Line it had already imposed on Gaza, the land grab that that blatantly was, into a new Orange Line, meaning that Israel has now de facto taken military control of more than 60 per cent of the Gaza Strip now, with some estimates putting it around 64 per cent in fact, all while the remaining Palestinians there get squeezed into what is left. So Trump gets his Board of Peace, his Civil-Military Coordination Centre supposedly to run this project with international partners, his International Stabilisation Force language, his donor demands, his reconstruction pitch, all the reportage of global seriousness by the MSM, and Israel swaps it’s yellow marker for a fat orange one, I wonder if they called it Donnie? And scrawled across the map, now saying this is mine. Deal-maker Trump got outplayed and he can’t say he was dealt a bad hand, because he knew he was playing with a shark. he has been left holding the wreckage of a big fat Board of Peace mess as it was always going to become, because the deal did not control the actor with the army.
