The so-called peace deal is not diplomacy. It is deception.
I saw how this all operates firsthand.
The media narrative around Trump as a peacemaker is not just misleading. It is dangerous. The deal in Gaza is not rooted in long-term stability or mutual respect. It is built on financial corruption, authoritarian alignment, and the erasure of democratic values.
From a behavioral lens, this is not peace. It is performance. The goal is not resolution. It is control. Trump’s foreign policy is transactional, not strategic. It rewards autocrats, sidelines allies, and treats human suffering as a branding opportunity.
The real threat is not just the lie itself. It is the machinery that repeats it, amplifies it, and sells it as truth. When propaganda replaces policy, and spectacle replaces substance, the consequences are global.

I knew Dmitry Muratov, from Novaya Gazeta, he got Nobel Prize, and he’s an honest man, he lost 6 journalists from his newspaper including Anna Politkovskaya to the Putin Regime. We were in the same university of Samara, Russia, together with Dmitry. I’d vouch for him anytime.
Most Americans understand that there is no instant gratification in Gaza beyond the alive Hostage release and return. Trump is giving the Arab partners room and time to provide what they've promised to do . Patience is required for the long haul this will take.
Wow what an important piece. You put it all out there. Brilliantly written.
Thank you. Great stuff as always Elise.
