How does this benefit any of us?

How does it benefit the world?

How does it benefit the people of Iran?

How does it benefit the American people?

The only beneficiary of this is the extremist agenda of Netanyahu and his dreams of annihilating the Palestinians and expanding his domination further in the region.

It doesn't benefit any Americans or Iranians or anyone in the region except

the sort of Zionist expansionist project.

I think you're hitting the nail on the head there.

The way that Kushner has viewed this for a long time, and again, he has deep business connections in Israel, not just the Gulf, but in Israel, family connections to Netanyahu.

And I think they truly do view Gaza's coastline as a prime piece of real estate.

And I think it's plantation politics masquerading as a foreign policy.

And so when they created this board of peace, there were two...

sort of strands at play.

One was Trump completely checkmated the United Nations Security Council.

In fact, I would say this was maybe the lowest point in the entire history of the United Nations Security Council was to endorse Trump's Board of Peace, including its ability to deploy

a privatized armed force inside of Gaza to back up the agenda.

And according to the Board of Peace charter, which the UN certified, Trump remains its chair even when he leaves the presidency.

I mean, it's extraordinary.

And so what happened there is that the UN basically put a death stamp on its own

claims to legitimacy having anything to do with Palestine by endorsing this.
