It appears that the Gaza War is over, with a new peace deal having been arranged and the last of the remaining Israeli hostages released.
The peace plan brokered by Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu declares, among other things, that GAZA will be a demilitarized zone that does not pose a threat to its neighbors, it will be redeveloped to benefit Gazans, Israel will release 250 prisoners serving life sentences and 1,700 Gazans who were detained after October 7, 2023, including all women and children so detained, Hamas members who commit to peaceful co-existence and to decommission their weapons will be given amnesty once all hostages are released, full aid will be immediately sent into the Gaza Strip, the the Rafah border crossing will be opened in both directions, and the United States will establish a dialogue between Israel and the Palestinians to agree on a political horizon for peaceful and prosperous co-existence.
Those who keep up with foreign-policy developments far more than I ever could and who read this blog must be thinking, "Hey, that sounds a lot like President Biden's peace plan! It is. Trump and Netanyahu agreed to adopt President Biden's peace plan once Netanyahu ended the military operation against Gaza when he felt like it. This way Trump can take credit for helping to end the Gaza conflict and possibly get nominated for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize after having been denied the prize in 2025 because of the seven wars he claimed to end (his claim, in reality, is seven wars short).
You think noted Arabophobe and dedicated Zionist Bari Weiss will let the truth get reported on CBS News? Highly unlikely. And even though I don't consider my own blog to be an objective-news site, I am reporting that fact . . . here.
Anyway, just as Trump has a lot of damn gall decrying federal buildings that look like fertilizer factories and giant shoeboxes and calling for more classically inspired architecture in government buildings (an initiative I actually support) when he is responsible for Trump Tower in New York and some of the most garish hotels in Atlantic City (so much for making an American Monte Carlo out of Atlantic City, the Abomination of Absecon Island), he has a lot of damn gall for demanding the Nobel Peace Prize (given this year to María Corina Machado, a Venezuelan pro-democracy activist) . . .
. . . after attacking Venezuelan boats because they might be trafficking drugs.
I hope enough people come to understand that Trump is ripping off Joe Biden to give himself credit for a peace deal that should have been adopted a year before . . . but that's not likely to happen.
