The so-called twenty-point plan of Donald Trump for Gaza, enthusiastically received by Benjamin Netanyahu, is not a peace plan but a unilateral U.S.–Israeli ultimatum. It is an imposed capitulation that will only pause the genocide in Gaza, not end it. The international solidarity movement was moving to isolate Israel. With this plan Trump and Netanyahu want to reverse the roles. Their central aim is to isolate the Palestinians. The objective is to pressure Palestinians into accepting impossible, neocolonial conditions. If they refuse, Trump and Netanyahu will portray them as “obstructionists.” Then Washington will “pledge full support to finish the job” — meaning the full annexation of Gaza into a “Greater Israel.”

Seventy years ago, the seeds of a new world order were planted in Bandung. In the former colonial banquet hall, Sociëteit Concordia, leaders from Asia and Africa gathered to stand united against imperialism and domination. The building—once marked by a sign reading "Dogs and Natives Prohibited"—where Dutch officers, businessmen, and dignitaries had celebrated colonial power, became the stage for the Bandung Conference, a milestone in the struggle for independence and self-determination. What began as a bastion of colonial arrogance became a symbol of liberation.
