The Colonial Mask of Interfaith Dialogue: How Western 'Peace Theater' Perpetuates Palestinian Oppression

The eighteenth point in Trump's Gaza peace plan calls for an interfaith dialogue process between Israelis and Palestinians, which has largely been overlooked as rhetorical padding. This seemingly minor point contains the dangerous seeds of Western-sponsored 'peace theater' that could normalize occupation rather than challenge the fundamental injustices of the colonial framework imposed upon Palestine.
