Episode notes
Arab Plan Became Trump's Framework
- The Arab states proposed Hamas step aside, disarm, accept a ceasefire, and return Gaza to Palestinian Authority control.
- Alexander Mercouris says Trump adopted this Arab plan and repackaged it as a 20-point proposal.
Board Of Peace And Leadership Shift
- Trump created a 'board of peace' around the Arab plan and initially considered Tony Blair to lead it.
- Mercouris notes Trump then appointed himself head while keeping Blair involved.
Potential Game Changer That Won't Materialize
- If implemented, the plan could stop fighting, create a technocratic Gaza government, and introduce non-Israeli military forces.
- Mercouris argues this would be a game changer but predicts it will not happen.
