Trump is a historian of the occupation, not a peace broker. He praised “Israel’s democracy” and ignored the bodies of children under the rubble of Gaza.
Donald Trump’s visits to Tel Aviv and Sharm El-Sheikh do not appear to be two separate events, but rather two chapters of one theater that reproduces the old American narrative in a new guise. In Tel Aviv in front of the Knesset, where Trump delivered a full-fledged ideological speech biased towards the Zionist narrative, in which he invoked the terms “the Promised Land” and “the Chosen People,” trying to program the minds of the masses to forget the reality of the historical land of Palestine, which was taken from its original owners in 1948, the day more than seven hundred thousand Palestinians were uprooted from their homes, so that a Jewish state with no foundations could be established on its ruins.
Mediation tailored to the occupation
Trump is a historian of the occupation, not a peace broker. He praised “Israel’s democracy” without seeing the walls of apartheid or the bodies of children buried under the rubble in Gaza
This White House tour came under the so-called “peace mediators” as a continuation of Trump’s plan, which worked to achieve a ceasefire and end the war in Gaza without addressing the original roots of this conflict. From the podiums of the meeting, Trump seemed like a historian of the occupation, not a peace broker. He praised “Israel’s democracy” without seeing the walls of apartheid or the bodies of children buried under the rubble in Gaza and the West Bank. His speech was like a statement perpetuating the era of rape, not the beginning of the era of justice.
Then came his visit to Sharm El-Sheikh to complete the scene.
– A summit without a party accused of genocide!
Israel’s absence from the summit, under the pretext of religious holidays, demonstrated an indirect refusal to engage in any actual commitment. Many observers saw that the so-called “Trump peace” is nothing but a reproduction of the occupation scenario in an embellished humanitarian guise. This appeared through Trump’s Washington speech, which turned the blood of nearly 70,000 Palestinians martyred over the past two years into an item on a diplomatic agenda, as an attempt to empty the essence of the issue of its liberation meaning. However, the passion of the Palestinians remained directed towards restoring the greater house, which is the homeland.
In Tel Aviv, Trump blessed Israel’s occupation of the land, and in Sharm El-Sheikh, he tried to cover up the crime with settlement papers
The combination of the visits to Tel Aviv and Sharm El-Sheikh reveals the deep structure of American policy: in the first, Trump blessed the occupation’s attack on the land, and in the second, he tried to cover up the crime with settlement papers. The Palestinian issue is not just a political file, but rather a battle of identity, memory, and rights that were spilled from the sea to the river, and what was stolen in 1948 can only be recovered through awareness, resistance, and national unity that redefines the self in the face of the machinations of the occupation. What Trump wanted to present as an “end to the conflict” has, in fact, revived the first question: Who owns this land?
