A new Op-ed by Dr. Ahmet Erdi Öztürk’s, “Trump’s Gaza Mirage: When ‘Peace’ Turns into Fire,” where he argues that Donald Trump’s 2025 Gaza “peace plan” is more about control and image than genuine peace. Designed far from Gaza, the plan ignores the voices of Palestinians and relies on power and threats instead of dialogue. Öztürk concludes that the plan’s collapse shows how real peace cannot come from top-down control or political showmanship, but from the people directly affected by the conflict.
