Israel bleeds for Gaza’s defense, yet Trump’s vision sidelines Jerusalem while legitimizing terrorists as technocrats.
Let me be clear from the start: I have long admired Donald Trump. His unapologetic strength, his instincts, and his historic backing of Israel earned him lasting respect. I forgive mistakes. But forgiveness does not mean silence.
The so-called “Board of Peace” sounds impressive—until one notices who is missing from the driver’s seat: Israel.
Gaza is not an abstract chessboard square. It is territory soaked with Israeli blood, defended at unbearable cost after the October 7 massacre. Israel fought, bled, and sacrificed—not America, not Europe, not Arab capitals. Israel.
Yet suddenly, Gaza is being discussed as if it were ownerless real estate, open for global committees, rival states, and even former terrorists—rebranded politely as “technocrats.”
That is not peace. That is historical amnesia.
If Gaza is to be rebuilt, governed, or transformed, Israel alone has the moral and strategic right to determine its future. Not international boards. Not hostile regional actors. And certainly not Hamas under any disguise.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu understands this danger clearly. Amnesty for Hamas—explicit or implied—is an insult to every Israeli family shattered by terror. These are not repentant administrators. They are ideologues who publicly promise to repeat mass murder.
Trump’s legacy includes the Abraham Accords—a masterpiece of regional realism. That legacy should not be diluted by experiments resembling a personalized United Nations, chaired by ambition rather than accountability.
America’s strength in the Middle East flows through Israel—its most reliable ally, its unsinkable battleship. Respecting that reality is not optional; it is strategic truth.
Dreams of a Gaza Riviera may sound poetic. But peace cannot be built by sidelining the nation that paid the price.
Hands off Gaza.
Let Israel decide.
