As Trump’s administration struggles to find ways to implement its fatally flawed “20-Point Plan” for Gaza, it has taken the surprising step of trying to obtain the approval of the United Nations Security Council. Here’s why that’s unlikely to work.
A year-old “ceasefire” is being upheld in Lebanon despite almost daily Israeli military strikes. The Trump administration can still prevent the fragile truce from falling apart, but only if it forces Israel to follow the agreement.
Gaza is now trapped in the limbo of the uncertainty surrounding the Trump plan. The U.S. might prevent Netanyahu from resuming Israel’s genocide, but unless Palestinians gain full control over Gaza’s future, it’s just a slower form of killing.
Trump’s flawed ceasefire plan has opened a door for Democrats to amend their shameful failure to end the Gaza genocide. But it requires doing something few Democrats have been willing to do: support Palestinian rights.
In a speech to the Knesset, Donald Trump declared the war in Gaza over and tempted Israel with economic riches through regional normalization, while almost completely ignoring the Palestinians.
Donald Trump’s “20-Point Plan” could provide a path to end the Gaza genocide, but it is limited by a lack of details and the uncertainty of whether the U.S. is willing to enforce it on Israel.
Two dueling congressional letters on Palestinian statehood reveal how toxic Israel has become among Democrats and show just how far AIPAC’s influence has fallen in Washington.
As Donald Trump touts his “21-Point Plan” to end the war in Gaza, Benjamin Netanyahu aims to convince the White House to support the ongoing genocide and possible Israeli annexation of the West Bank. Can he persuade Trump?
Benjamin Netanyahu walked back claims about Israel’s international isolation after causing a stock market crash, but he was right – the Gaza genocide has severely hurt Israel’s standing. We must deepen this isolation through boycotts and sanctions.
Israel has sent a message that its impunity extends even to attacks on states that have close relations with Washington. They need only cry “HAMAS” and any act is acceptable.
