Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (aka Netan-Nazi) is traveling to the U.S. to meet with Trump at his Mar-a-Lago estate. This will be the fifth meeting between these two genocidal fascists in the U.S. This is more than Trump has met with any other world leader and makes for the most trips that Netan-Nazi has made to the U.S. within a single year! This reflects the key strategic role Israel plays for U.S. imperialism in the Middle East.
This meeting will reportedly focus on moving to phase two of Trump’s Gaza “peace plan”—supposedly the governing and reconstruction of Gaza. Israel plays a key role in this plan, but differences between the U.S. and Israel have also emerged. The meeting will also likely deal with Lebanon and Syria, which Israel has repeatedly attacked, as well as other regional issues, including their approach toward the Islamic Republic of Iran. (NBC News reported December 20 that Netanyahu will talk with Trump about wanting to drop more bombs on Iran.)
Revcom.us has analyzed Trump’s predatory, fascist "peace plan" HERE, HERE, and HERE.
As this meeting takes place, phase 1 of this "peace plan" has consisted of at least 875 ceasefire violations on the part of Israel. This "peace plan" has consisted of people in Gaza freezing in flooded tents amidst deadly winter storms. All while Israel’s genocide in Gaza and its campaign of terror and ethnic cleansing in the Palestinian West Bank have not let up. The so-called “ceasefire” Trump brokered in Gaza has led to fewer mass slaughters and somewhat more aid trickling into Gaza, but Israel continues to kill, starve, terrorize and/or displace nearly two million Palestinians.
Just since the ceasefire was brokered, Israel has killed some 406 people in Gaza, including 157 children, and at least 1,088 more have been wounded. 1.6 million people—roughly three-quarters of Gaza’s population—are still experiencing high levels of hunger and acute food insecurity. There is enough food to feed the population trapped just outside the border of Gaza which Israel refuses to let in.
And all this is on top of the over 70,000 Palestinians murdered by Israel and 171,165 more injured, with many thousands still buried beneath the vast piles of rubble.
