If Trump gets his way, Gaza will be ruled by an imperial and grotesquely named “Board of Peace”, with Trump himself as chair, and including arch war criminal Tony Blair. The Palestinian people will have no say in the running of the Strip.
Only through the political self-organisation of the Palestinian working class and youth acting together with the organised working class of the Middle East and North Africa can imperialism and the capitalist regimes, along with those who have misled the Palestinian struggle throughout its history, be challenged and a genuine revolutionary movement for the liberation of Palestine succeed.
