Olivia of Troye - Trump Promised Peace for Gaza. The Documents Tell a Different Story.

When I wrote last month that Donald Trump might deserve credit for negotiating a ceasefire and bringing hostages home, I also warned that America’s real test would come next: rebuilding peace.

Today’s Politico exposé confirms what those of us who have lived this know too well: there was no real plan for peace, only a photo-op for the ceasefire.

Private documents obtained by the news outlet reveal that 67 slides presented at a two-day symposium for U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) and members of the new Civilian Military Coordination Center in Israel expose the true nature of the “Gaza peace plan.” Inside the room were approximately 400 participants, including representatives from the Defense Department, the State Department, non-profit organizations, and private contractors such as RAND and the Blair Institute (the think tank helmed by former British Prime Minister Tony Blair). The materials paint a vivid picture of dysfunction, a peace process without a plan, a governance structure without a government, and a security force without troops.

One slide literally shows an arrow with a question mark linking Phase 1 (ceasefire and hostage release) to Phase 2 (Hamas disarmament and reconstruction).
