A U.S.-led initiative in an Israeli warehouse has sparked international debate as it outlines the future of Gaza without Palestinian involvement. The Civil-Military Coordination Center in Kiryat Gat, Israel, is hosting discussions among U.S. military personnel, foreign diplomats, and aid workers, with the focus on post-conflict planning. Notably, Palestinian representatives are missing from these proceedings, raising concerns about the fairness and inclusivity of the decision-making process.
The absence of Palestinian voices has drawn criticism from human rights groups and political analysts, who argue that any legitimate resolution must involve the perspectives and participation of the people directly affected. U.S. officials have not publicly addressed the issue, but their presence at the center underscores the dominant role of external actors in shaping the region’s future. As tensions in Gaza persist, the lack of Palestinian involvement could further complicate efforts to achieve a lasting peace.
