The Board of Peace received less than $1 billion of the $17 billion pledged to it. The International Stabilization Force was announced and never deployed. The Gaza mission is now closing. The ceasefire collapsed. No Palestinian representative sits on the board designed to govern Palestinian land. The man who presided over the bombardment of Gaza sits on it instead. Trump announced this plan at Davos with a branding deck and Jared Kushner’s renderings of beachfront condominiums, called it the deal of the century, and has now called affordability a line of bullshit. The pattern is the same every time. The branding is always bigger than the plan. The plan is always bigger than the execution. The execution is always someone else’s problem. The Board of Peace is not a peace initiative. It is a real estate proposal written over a graveyard with no Palestinians in the room. When it fails — and it is failing — the people who pay for that failure are not the people who named it or showed up to Davos to announce it. They are the people who were never invited to the table in the first place. Gaza doesn’t need a board. It needs rubble cleared, hospitals rebuilt, and people allowed to return to what remains of their homes. None of that requires a branding deck. All of it requires something this administration has demonstrated, repeatedly and without ambiguity, that it cannot provide. The will to follow through.

You neglected to mention that terrorist Israel continues to ruthlessly murder Palestinians.

It sounds like this so called Board of Peace is strictly a way for Netanyahu to maintain control over Gaza and another profit-making scam for Trump. And the Palestinians are left waiting for someone to save them from complete annihilation. So heartbreaking.

All that come from zio-epstein terrorist genocidal regime is monstruous and criminal. We, humans, must not fall in their traps any more.

Let's call it what it is, The Bored Of Peace Program. I believe what you have put forth. Keep blowing your trumpet, it WILL work. We must be patient and bold and loud. Thank you.

I’m not being allowed to a post the link but here is the title of a good the intercepts article worth reading.

“TRUMP’S ORWELLIAN BOARD OF PEACE CONSISTS ENTIRELY OF HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSERS”

I m not sure anyone sane enough and who watched the unfolding of the Gaza genocide and the lying patterns of Israel and US, would believe the board of peace schtick. Also, given the latest investigation of Richard Medhurst about the US piracy to save the Petro dollar, and knowing the importance of the Levantine basin for this, and knowing the first company that appeared after the Board of Peace to sign on contracts was Chevron, we must see the threads forming no?
