Trump’s Board of Peace is in financial crisis and wants to use funds taken from the Palestinian Authority to pay for Gaza’s reconstruction. Palestinians would pay twice over: money stolen from the West Bank would be used to cement Gaza’s occupation.

Israel has entered a new phase of expansion and military aggression beyond historic Palestine. This is not due to a strategic shift, but rather because the constraints that kept it confined before October 2023 are now too weak to hold it back.

Israel has been able to insulate itself from the effects of the economic blockade imposed by the “Axis of Resistance” through supply chain warfare in the Middle East and the broader region.

Netanyahu’s plans to turn Israel into a regional transportation hub connecting Asia with Europe has just suffered a major setback. The reason is the maritime and land blockade against Israel in response to its genocide in Gaza.

Israel says it is circumventing Yemen’s Red Sea blockade with a “land bridge” connecting it to Saudi Arabia and the UAE via Jordan. This is simply a charade to hide that Yemen’s blockade is working.
