Someday this War's gonna End

Trump’s plan reportedly considers appointing him as the head of a newly established entity called the Gaza International Transitional Authority (GITA), which would administer Gaza after Hamas is ousted for a transition period of up to several years. GITA would seek a UN mandate, something Arab states have emphasised they will require, and would also initially sideline the Palestinian Authority (PA) – as Israel continues to say it will not allow the PA to have a future governance role.

It sounds a lot like the transitional administration proposed to run Iraq after Sad. Hussein was vanquished 20 years ago. That went well.
 
Under Trump’s plan, a “technocratic” leadership of Palestinians, unaffiliated with any political faction, will govern Gaza on a day-to-day basis after the end of the war.

But that Palestinian leadership will be selected not by the Palestinian people, but by a new international body that would oversee the implementation of the peace plan. Trump said this organisation, called the “board of peace”, would be tasked with ensuring the agreement’s success and bringing together key regional and international leaders.

He said that the oversight body would be chaired by him, personally.

Trump’s plan speaks of an international stabilisation force (ISF) that the US and its Arab and other partners will set up to oversee the security of Gaza after Hamas is demilitarised.

“This force will be the long-term internal security solution. The ISF will work with Israel and Egypt to help secure border areas, along with newly trained Palestinian police forces,” the plan outlines.

But Netanyahu, standing next to Trump at the news conference, suggested that Israel has other ideas.

According to Al Jazeera’s Marwan Bishara, this proposal involves “the surrender for Hamas”.

“I wish I could put a better spin on it, but Trump’s plan will be perceived by Hamas as an ultimatum to surrender, or else the US will back its best friend, Israel,” he said. Now, they could be convinced that maybe they should surrender for the better, that maybe at least after three years of genocide and of incessant bombardment … that maybe that bloodbath will stop,” Bishara explained.

“But when the entire thing is based on the idea that there are terror networks in Gaza, that there are terrorists in Gaza, and this deal will ensure that they disarm and that the territory they once sort of governed under occupation will be disarmed, this is no less than a surrender,” Bishara added.

you really believe a 'peace proposal' that puts Trump in charge of Gaza will ever work?
