Gaza is our show: US pushes its plan over Netanyahu's objections

Source: msn/Axios

11h


President Trump's advisers have little patience for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's objections as they push ahead with "phase two" of the Gaza peace plan.

  • "This is our show, not his show. We managed to do things in Gaza in recent months nobody thought was possible, and we are going to continue moving," a senior U.S. official told Axios, referring to Netanyahu.


  • Friction point: Netanyahu released an unusually pointed statement objecting to the "executive board" for Gaza, which the White House named on Friday.

  • The committee, which reports to the Trump-led Board of Peace, includes the foreign minister of Turkey and a senior Qatari official, despite Netanyahu's insistence that those countries have no role in governing Gaza.
  • The announcement stunned Netanyahu, who was not consulted. The Israeli media quickly started reporting on the idea that Qatar and Turkey — key mediators on the Gaza deal who both have fractious relationships with Israel — would be wielding influence.
  • "The announcement... was not coordinated with Israel and runs counter to its policy. The Prime Minister instructed the Foreign Minister to raise this matter with the U.S. Secretary of State," Netanyahu said.

    Netanyahu needs Gaza for future Lebensraum and more importantly potable water. Israeli aquifers are drying up.

    He's justifiably concerned that Trump will claim Gaza for commercial development without giving an inch to Israel's expanding borders.

    One psychopath thinks that another psychopath is not going to fu>k him over.

    No honor among thieves also applies to psychopaths. Tough luck, Bibi.

    You sweet Summer child.

    What on earth made you think Trump wouldn’t fuck you? You know what fucking people over is like and you have seen the massive evidence of Trump fucking people over his whole life. What made you think you were special? Btw, Trump is an anti-Semite. Just in case you weren’t paying attention to that either.

    Thinking of a friend who went right wing over Israel. This will give pause.

    Same will happen to righties from Cuba and Venezuela when they see what Savior does.

    "The draft ‍charter ‍sent to about 60 countries by the Trump administration calls for members ⁠to contribute $1 billion in cash ​if they want ‍their membership to last more than three years, according to the ‍document ⁠seen by the Reuters news agency."
