So it turns out that documents circulating among U.S. Officials that have been obtained by reporters over at Politico indicate that there is a serious lack of a clear path forward in President Donald Trump's peace plan in Gaza. [00:00:17] Now, the documents were presented just last month during a two day symposium that included U.S. Central Command and members of Israel's newly created Civil Military Coordination Center, which is part of this agreement between Israel and Hamas, which of course went [00:00:34] into effect last month on October 10th. Now it was attended by Lieutenant General Michael Frenzel, who is the United States security coordinator for the Israel Palestinian Authority. And along at this symposium, you also had the Defense Department, or at [00:00:52] least members of the Defense Department, the State Department, non-governmental organizations, NGOs and private companies, including the Rand Corporation. So they're getting together. They're thinking about. All right, there's some holes in this peace plan. Let's try to figure out what these holes are. [00:01:09] Let's try to fill them. Now, it remains to be seen whether or not they've actually found solutions to these issues. But anyone who paid any attention and actually cared about the granular details of Trump's supposed peace plan, you would know that it wasn't a peace plan, [00:01:26] that there were looming questions ahead. And there's also the issue of the big obstacle of the Israeli government, which has no interest in peace in Gaza. They have an interest in expelling Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, taking that land for themselves and settling that land. [00:01:45] They've been open about it. You can read Israeli publications. You can listen to Israeli politicians in the Knesset saying it out loud. That's what they actually want to do. But the Trump administration, just as it would be the case with the Biden administration or the Obama administration or any other US administration, [00:02:03] is pretending as though Israel isn't an obstacle to peace when they've been an obstacle to peace since its very formation in 1948. So the presentation surfaces a particular concern about whether a so-called [00:02:20] international stabilization force, a multinational security initiative meant to keep peace in Gaza, can really be deployed. We're going to revisit that in just a minute, because countries that were [00:02:36] thinking about participating in this peace deal are kind of starting to realize that, oh, wait, it kind of looks like Israel just wants us to fight Hamas in Gaza on their behalf. Again, we'll get back to that in just a minute. One slide shows an arrow with a question mark on it, [00:02:53] linking the first and second phases of the US brokered peace plan, underscoring the uncertainty about his prospects. Uncertainty is, one way to put it. I would say there is certainty that whatever ends up transpiring in Gaza [00:03:09] is not really going to be about peace. It's going to be about essentially dealing with the Palestinian people, either pushing them out, or maybe even taking more than the 53% of the Gaza Strip that Israel is currently occupying, and just kind of push Palestinians [00:03:27] into an ever shrinking piece of land. We'll see. We'll see how it plays out. But again, there's these gaping holes in this so-called peace deal that they're trying to find solutions to. That's the whole point of this symposium. One symposium participant even told Politico the following divorced [00:03:46] from the peace deal is a plan of how to actually implement this peace deal. Everyone is floating around at 40,000ft and nobody is talking operations or tactics. And again, the other huge question mark really has to do with this so-called [00:04:03] international stabilization force. Okay. Like, how would that work? Who's going to be involved? You know, the countries that have been essentially solicited to take part in this are, in fact, concerned that they'll just end up sacrificing military assets [00:04:19] and their own soldiers to fight Hamas on behalf of Israel. You know what the United States has basically been doing, not necessarily in regard to Hamas, but we've been fighting wars in the Middle East on behalf of Israel for a while now. Other countries have probably seen this and thought to themselves, [00:04:36] wow, the Americans are suckers. Do we want to be suckers? I don't know, do you? There's a struggle to get any country in the area to commit forces, said the symposium participant. Some countries would happily write a check, [00:04:54] but they don't want to send Manpower. Remember, the US government is the only government that's willing to sacrifice its own soldiers on behalf of Israel. Now Indonesia, Azerbaijan, which was given weapons to ethnically cleanse Armenians [00:05:12] in Nagorno-Karabakh by the Israelis and Pakistan, have offered to provide troops. Turkey also offered. But Israel is like, no thanks, no thanks. They apparently don't trust the Turks. Now, one thing that is certain is that the United States is going to have a very big role in this, and very likely for decades to come. [00:05:32] So one organizational chart included in the documents details plans for significant U.S. Involvement in Gaza even beyond security matters, including overseeing economic reconstruction, the Palestinian body that ultimately governs governs Gaza. [00:05:49] Let's all just stop and laugh at the notion that that's what the U.S. And Israel are planning, that there's going to be some sort of Palestinian body that ultimately governs Gaza. How hilarious is that? Like they just lie to our faces, and Politico just writes it as if they're going to take what the Trump administration is saying at face value, [00:06:08] even while the president's own son in law, Jared Kushner, openly salivates about the real estate deals he's going to be involved in in Gaza. Oceanfront property. Let's go back to that graphic for a second. The Palestinian body that ultimately governs Gaza will need long term U.S. [00:06:26] And international support. One document states security and police forces may need outside funding and advising for decades. So the US, again, is going to be very much involved in this, likely for decades to come. [00:06:43] But as Israeli publication Ynet global reports, the US is actually planning to commit $500 million, half $1 billion to form a base near the Gaza border to support the ceasefire. [00:07:01] According to Israeli officials, the planned US base along the Gaza border would house several thousand troops tasked with maintaining the ceasefire. The move signals Washington's determination to deepen its involvement in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. [00:07:17] Again, that's Ynet, an Israeli publication. Thousands of our soldiers will be deployed to that base along the Gaza Strip in order to. I guess I do Israel's dirty work. [00:07:33] I mean, the way that it's being written about, it's all about maintaining peace or stabilizing the region. But as we know, U.S. Involvement in the Middle East hasn't really been about stabilizing the region. If anything, U.S. Involvement in the Middle East has destabilized the region to the point where we've had mass migration, refugee crises, we've overthrown regimes. [00:07:54] We've destroyed entire countries. The paper writes that Israeli officials said the facility would be used by international forces operating in Gaza to help maintain the ceasefire, and could [00:08:10] accommodate several thousand soldiers. Great. All right. So, guys, Gaza has been leveled. Jared Kushner is on the record saying we're only going to rebuild or reconstruct the 53% of the Gaza Strip that the Israelis are currently occupying. [00:08:29] If you listen to hearings in the Knesset in Israel, they're very open about how the intention is to settle that land with Israeli settlers. The whole point is to erase the Palestinian people from the Gaza Strip. [00:08:46] They say it out loud. But here in the United States, we have media that engages in this weird dog and pony show where they insult our intelligence and make it seem like the side that we are aligned with is the good side, [00:09:01] when they're really the terrorists who have just slaughtered tens of thousands of innocent people in Gaza who have facilitated the theft of Palestinian homes in the West Bank, which had nothing to do with October 7th, which isn't governed by Hamas. [00:09:18] They're supposed to be a ceasefire right now between Hezbollah and Israel in Lebanon. But Israel is bombing the crap out of southern Lebanon as we speak. What are we talking about here? [00:09:33] That's the reality of the situation. This isn't about peace. This is about aiding and abetting an expansionist project by the Israelis while laughing in our face and insulting our intelligence. That's the reality. Every time you ring the bell below, an angel gets his wings. [00:09:51] Totally not true. But it does keep you updated on our live shows.
