"Gaza will be governed under the temporary transitional governance of a technocratic, apolitical Palestinian committee, responsible for delivering the day-to-day running of public services and municipalities for the people in Gaza," the White House said.

A "Board of Peace" chaired by Trump, which will include former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair, will have "oversight and supervision" of the Palestinian committee.

The plan says the Palestinian Authority will eventually take over Gaza once it has "completed its reform programme".

Netanyahu praised Trump for offering to manage the enclave as "Chairman of the Board", saying: "The fact that you are taking this on helps a lot."

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Back up a bit. Is this "peace" "plan" literally making President Trump the unelected ruler of the Gaza Strip? Not in his role as President of the United States, even, which would be bad enough, but making Trump, personally, the highest authority in Gaza, until he decides Gaza is "reformed" enough for him to surrender power?

Am I reading this right?

Are we going all the way back to the time of Julius Caesar where the leader of Rome could just give himself a province to rule personally?

My what the fuckometer has been consistently overloaded since January 20th, but, really, what the actual fuck?

Hirohito accepts Hitler's plan to end the war in Korea. Resistance must disarm first.

Because Netanyahu's never pretended to accept a deal before.

Did anyone ask Palestinians if they accept?!

[...] shortly after the press conference, Reuters quoted a Hamas official as saying that the group had not received a "written Gaza peace plan" as yet.

Hamas probably won't go for this as it still requires them to demilitarize and they, along with a lot of Palestinians in gaza, view that as a path to slow ethnic cleansing like what's happening in the west bank.

You'd think the "Hillary's gonna take our guns" Republicans would understand not wanting to surrender your guns and security to a government in general, much less one that's been trying to genocide you for decades.

I think there's a reason they might actually go for it.

If you give Gaza to Trump, Trump may feel the need to "stick up for it". I don't know how likely that is, but clearly Palestine has exhausted all other options.

When has Trump ever done anything with what he owns except drain it of all value and discard it?

[-] Zymii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 21 hours ago

Given that Trump has publicly supported leveling Gaza and turning it into a luxury resort, I think it's very questionable what he would be sticking up "for"

The war isn't over and if anything this is just laying the groundwork to expand it

It won’t end. The stipulations mean it will go on forever. Point 1 talks about Israel eradicating all terror in the zone first.
