Trump’s ‘Peace Plan’ Aims to Deradicalize Palestinians: But What About Israelis?

Update on :

Imagine a scenario where children are encouraged to sing about atrocities, leading figures broadcast hate-filled speeches, and the majority desires the removal of a minority. This isn’t a fictional dystopia, but a reality in Israel. Yet, in a twist of irony, Donald Trump’s peace plan targets Gaza for “deradicalization” rather than addressing the concerning behaviors in Israel itself.

The Asymmetrical Expectations of Trump’s Peace Proposal

Donald Trump’s peace plan laid out a vision where Gaza would transform into a “deradicalized terror-free zone,” posing no threat to its neighbors. The blueprint conspicuously omitted any similar expectations for Israel, despite its recent history of aggressive actions against Gaza and its neighbors. Furthermore, Israel’s immediate violation of the ceasefire just hours after its establishment underlines the unilateral nature of this expectation.

Recent Violations and Ongoing Violence

In just a fortnight following the ceasefire agreement, Israeli forces were responsible for the deaths of at least 93 Palestinians in Gaza, as reported by the local Ministry of Health. This outbreak of violence post-ceasefire raises questions about the effectiveness and sincerity of peace plans that do not hold all parties accountable.

Questioning the Integrity of the Peace Plan

The peace plan, brokered with the support of the United States, which has historically backed Israel unconditionally, seems to falter when examined through the lens of recent events. If a nation engages in genocidal acts for years with external support, how committed can it genuinely be towards a peace deal, especially one facilitated by the same ally? The plan’s failure to address the power imbalances and the necessity for Israel to confront its aggressive policies only adds to its inadequacy.

In light of these observations, one must ask what the term “peace plan” really signifies when the more powerful entity involved is not compelled to halt its violence or address radical elements within. Without such measures, any proposed solution seems incomplete and biased, leaning more towards appeasement than actual peace.
