Meg Schwarz makes a good point about women and the Board of Peace (what would Golda Meir think?) But I sense a lack of urgency with winter coming again in Gaza. Where are the six engined Antonovs which transported portable housing to Cambodia after the defeat of Pol Pot? Where is the move for a new prefabbed harbour on the Gaza coast better than the US constructed one 18 months ago which failed in a storm?
Germany and China, for example, are good at modular housing and engineering; get them positively and urgently involved. Our government is contributing one man to the monitoring group; is that group the nucleus of the Board of Peace? Why don’t we land urgent medical teams and temporary hospitals?
I note that China brokered a key interest group to set up a post-war Palestine Government in July 2024. Why has that been ignored? (sorry, silly question). The US’ Morton Ortagus ought to be briefed to get UN backing for future plans in Palestine.
So much to do. Maybe it is happening and just isn’t reported. I hope so. Oh, and for our government of excuses, Israel does have an Indo-Pacific shore.
