Although the Trump administration presented its plan to stop the war in Gaza as a "historic peace achievement," analysis reveals that it was not just a military truce initiative, but a political project to reassert American influence in the Middle East. Washington used the agreement to reassert itself as the sole leader of the political process after bringing Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey to a single table, but the plan did not only reposition the United States, but also gave it a direct tool of influence through the establishment of a "peace council," which places Gaza's decision in the hands of an international body led by Washington.
The plan not only repositioned America, but also gave it a tool of direct influence through the establishment of a "Peace Council" that puts the decision of Gaza in the hands of an international body led by Washington, bypassing the role of the PLO and the Palestinian Authority.
At the same time, a huge media machine was operated to turn the ceasefire into a "peace myth," while the plan leaves the issues of governance, reconstruction, and disarmament open without guarantees, so that peace remains conditional on Washington's will.
In this way, the plan did not end the conflict as much as it rearranged its rules. Gaza was transformed from an arena of war into an arena of influence management, and peace became not an end to the war, but the beginning of a new phase of American political guardianship over the region under the title of "managed peace."
