You heard right: Hillary Clinton just came out in support of Donald Trump. At exactly the point that Trump has been forced by a trap of his own making into signing a ceasefire with Iran, Hillary Clinton came out to support her erstwhile nemesis on a totally contrary approach, which is guaranteed to blow up all of Southwest Asia. Clinton did this in a Financial Times op ed headlined “The world may not like Trump’s Gaza plan—but there is no alternative.” The FT featured as a subtitle: “If even I, an implacable opponent of the president, can accept this as the best option, then surely others can too?”
Clinton writes: “Europe and many of its traditional partners approach the Board of Peace and the Trump administration’s 20-point plan for Gaza with the studied scepticism of those who believe they can afford to wait. But we cannot. None of us can. There is no alternative framework waiting in the wings. No rival coalition is quietly preparing a more viable proposal. The 20-point plan is not the one many of us would have drafted, but it remains the only framework backed by sufficient leverage, political engagement and potential resources to move the parties towards implementation.”
In fact, Trump’s Gaza plan would perpetuate the genocide against Palestinians, and ensure the economic and political conditions for perpetual war in the region.
