Promotional video promises ‘new dawn for Gaza’
A video about the Board of Peace’s plans for the Gaza Strip has been aired, hailing Trump’s “unparalleled achievements” and showcasing real estate renderings.
The narration began by claiming, “The war Hamas began has left Gaza in ruins.”
“Yet from these ruins, a new future will rise,” the narrator said as clips played of Trump shaking hands with leaders, Vance giving speeches, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt and people appearing to celebrate in the streets with Israeli and US flags.
The board’s goal is to “fully” rebuild Rafah in three years, curb unemployment and make Gaza “fully connected to the world through an Abrahamic gateway”, the narrator continued.
More footage of Gaza’s imagined future rolled, including apparently AI-generated images of trains and construction projects, rows of high-rise buildings and cars travelling down streets resembling US suburbs.
“This is the framework for Gaza’s rebirth: secure. prosperous and peaceful,” the narrator concluded.
Mention of Israel conspicuously absent in Board of Peace’s Gaza video
There has been a lot of bias injected in all of this process, particularly when the video talks about how Gaza was destroyed in the first place. It made no mention of the Israeli military’s role in its destruction, as well as the lapses in the “ceasefire”.
So it already calls into question just how fair this process is going to be with regard to the Board of Peace, even though we heard from Jared Kushner, the Middle East envoy there, just a moment ago, saying that if Jews and Muslims work together towards a common goal, there will be peace and togetherness.
When you hear other comments that are so clearly one-sided, it’s hard to imagine.
