Introduction: A “New Gaza” or the Same Old Mirage?
Two years after Gaza was buried under its own ashes, the world is once again being asked to clap for “peace.”
Donald J. Trump, self-proclaimed peacemaker of the century, has unveiled his latest script — a 20-point plan to build a “New Gaza.” It’s being hailed as a turning point in civilization, a triumph of diplomacy, a fresh dawn.
But scratch the gold plating, and it’s just the same machinery of dressed in a new marketing campaign.
Yossi Alpher, a seasoned Israeli strategist, calls it what it is: another exercise in repackaging disaster as deliverance.
The Art of the Ceasefire Deal
Alpher breaks it down with surgical precision.
Trump’s points three through eight — ceasefire, partial withdrawal, hostage swaps, humanitarian corridors — might actually happen. Why? Because they’ve all happened before.
It’s déjà vu diplomacy — the illusion of progress, choreographed by the same players who profit from the performance.
The victims remain the same. The ruins remain the same. Only the language changes.
Meanwhile, points one, two, and nine through twenty — the lofty promises of “deradicalization,” “self-determination,” and “reconstruction” — belong to the museum of failed peace plans. Words polished smooth by repetition, emptied of meaning by time.
Spoilers, Convenient and Otherwise
In this tragic theater, every actor has a role.
- Palestinian Islamic Jihad remains the catch-all villain.
- Hamas is expected to surrender its arms and dignity simultaneously.
- And Netanyahu’s Kahanist coalition? They cling to their seats, dreaming of “transfer” and “Riviera projects.”
If irony were a state policy, this would be Israel’s most successful export.
Trump’s Peace Theater
The casting is flawless.
Trump — the salesman-turned-savior — demands applause for “ending” a war whose embers he helped fan. Netanyahu, humiliated yet unbroken, plays the reluctant actor pretending it was all his idea.
Meanwhile, Qatar and Turkey walk away as “regional winners,” not for championing justice, but for mastering the choreography of convenience. The Doha royals, now blessed with new U.S. guarantees, might as well hang a framed print of that infamous photo — Bibi apologizing, Trump smirking, and history sighing in the corner.
And then there’s Tony Blair, the ghost of Iraq’s destruction, resurrected to manage Gaza’s “reconstruction.” The same man who once preached democracy from a tank turret now promises reform through “stabilization.”
If absurdity were a development plan, this one would already be funded.
Israel’s Moral Defeat
Alpher’s verdict is chilling: Israel may have won militarily, but it has lost morally, internationally, and economically.
It’s a strange kind of victory — the kind that requires an apology to Trump, the loss of global sympathy, and a society unable to look its own reflection in the eye.
But the West has perfected the art of selective amnesia. The same capitals that armed the war now fund the “peace.” The same media that justified the famine now write about “hope.”
In the end, Gaza’s suffering is simply rebranded as another line item in the global charity ledger.
The Mirage of “New Gaza”
Let’s be clear: Gaza does not need a “New Gaza.”
It needs justice, freedom, and a future not written by its oppressors.
No photo-op in Doha, no apology from Bibi, no handshake choreographed by Trump’s PR team can cleanse the rubble of its truth. What Gaza needs is not “stability” — it’s liberation from those who define stability as silence.
Trump’s twenty points might pause the bombs.
But if peace without accountability is the goal, then the plan is just another chapter in the long book of global hypocrisy.
Epilogue: The Repetition That Kills
Two years since October 7, the world still expects Gaza to rise from dust without demanding justice from those who made it dust.
Perhaps Trump will indeed make history.
But for Gaza, history has never been the problem.
It’s the repetition that kills.
