Exclusive: #Trump's joke of a #Gaza plan on hold as #Iran #war pauses disarmament talks

Talks to advance Trump's plan to end the Gaza war have been on hold since last week ​when the #US & #Israel jointly attacked Iran, sparking a broader #MiddleEast war, 3 sources with direct knowledge of the negotiations said.

The pause threatens to stall implementation of ‌Trump's flagship #MiddleEast “peace” initiative, which he has cast as a major foreign policy objective. It comes less than a month after he secured billions of dollars in pledges for #Gaza from #Gulf Arab states - countries that are now facing Iranian attacks as the conflict widens.

Trump's #Gaza plan has hinged in part on whether #Hamas militants would lay down their arms in exchange for amnesty, a step intended to pave the way for reconstruction & further Israeli military withdrawals. White ​House mediators have been backchanneling between #Israel & Hamas on the disarmament question.

Negotiations on this & other issues were paused when the #Iran #war began Feb 28, the 3 ​sources said….

Zaha Hassan, of the Washington-based Carnegie ⁠Endowment for International Peace, said countries including the #UAE & #Qatar which pledged funds for Trump's “#BoardOfPeace” mission may be questioning if this is "really money well spent now that ​they are dodging rocket fire."

…Israel's military has eased off strikes in #Gaza since the start of the #war but, citing #Hamas threats, has not ceased attacks, as Israel jets carry out bombing campaigns in #Iran & #Lebanon. At least 16 #Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since Feb 28, health officials say.

"The moment the war on Iran is over, (#Israel) will come back at us with the same frequency, with the same violence," said Talal Hamouda, 46, who lives in Jabalia in the northern Gaza Strip, with his wife & 5 children.

#Hamas, for its part, has continued to reassert its grip in areas under its control in #Gaza since the ​#Iran #war began. Sources close to the group say ​Hamas fighters in recent days ambushed several #Israel backed ⁠militia members in Gaza's north & south, killing at least 2 people.

@Nonilex Those billions are now resting in an account controlled by Trump. He may well forget about the Gaza project, and just keep the money.

@HarriettMB

They knew what they signed up for.

Trump is king and ruler of the 'board of peace' and never in his life has Trump given any money back. He doesn't even pay his normal bills.

As said before, after emptying the coffers of Americans, Trump has brought his grifting on to the international stage.

@paulschoe @Nonilex This war on Iran is another grift. Now he’s hemming and hawing about whether it’s over or not. Every time oil prices drop I believe he and his backers buy shares, and every time the price rises they sell them again. Infinite loop of income for bad people.
