"Emperor" Trump's So-Called Board of Peace Erases Palestinians from Gaza Governance

[Uncle Joe]

As President Donald Trump formally inaugurated his so-called Board of Peace at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Thursday, his son-in-law Jared Kushner presented his vision of turning the Gaza Strip into an upscale seaside resort with gleaming skyscrapers and entirely new cities. The proposal is said to require an investment of at least $25 billion, and Kushner's presentation showed a map of the besieged territory divided into different zones. This all comes as Palestinians in Gaza struggle to survive with little food or shelter amid ongoing Israeli restrictions on aid.

"It's hard to take these people seriously. I mean, they're buffoonish. But the problem is, is that they control the largest military and economy in the world," says Sharif Abdel Kouddous, the Middle East and North Africa editor at Drop Site News. He calls the Board of Peace "a parody of a colonial body" and says the plan for Gaza will result in "ultimate control and subjugation" of the Palestinian population.

3. These billionaire vultures see every tragedy as an investment opportunity. Ever hear of MIPIM?

It's the world's largest real estate property marketing expo held yearly in Cannes, France. In March of 2000, 3 months after the Tsunami hit Phu Ket in Thailand and other areas, MIPIM had a presentation on investment opportunities in the new beach front hotels built over where thousands had died just 3 months earlier.

worked to create the tragedy in the 1st place.

For one thing too many negotiators for the Palestinians were murdered, and Kushner's plan was in the making as far back as four days after Hamas went on their suicide mission against Israel, if not before the attack on October 7th 2023.
