Feb 6 Managed Deprivation: Gaza Suffers Under Peace Board

Antonio Bhardwaj

Executive summary

Trump's Board of Peace runs Gaza now after October 2025 ceasefire.

It has US team, Qatar reps, and 15 Palestinian experts.

Davos showed "New Gaza" like Dubai with hotels.

But Israel blocks aid; only tiny amounts enter for 2.4 million.

Strikes kill dozens, like 23 on February 4th, 2026. 37 aid groups banned. Hunger close again.

Board must prove it helps before trust.

Introduction

Gaza is broken: tents in dirt, no clean water, kids hungry. "Managed deprivation" is slow starvation—not full block, but just enough to keep control. Trump's Board promises fix: govern, rebuild shiny city. But aid too low, fighting goes on.

For example, a family waits 3 days for bread; hospitals have no medicine for surgery. That is managed deprivation.

History and current status

Hamas ruled Gaza since 2007; wars and blockade followed. 2023 war killed 76.000.

Trump plan got ceasefire October 10, 2025: hostages swapped, less bombs. UN okayed Board; Trump leads.

Experts took over from Hamas in January 2026, fix basics like power. They stopped some taxes so small shops can reopen.

Board plans rebuild south first, security zone for Israel. But only 14,000 aid boxes weekly—need 500,000 food rations daily. That is 3% of need.

Key developments and concerns

Davos: slides of skyscrapers, beaches.

Kushner showed kids in rubble, then Trump on beach.

Plan 4 phases: tents, then homes, then factories, then hotels.

Gulf money promised for water plants.

Experts stop taxes, clear rubble.

Mladenov from UN helps.

But phase 2 stuck—no full Israel leave.

Concerns: aid stuck, 14,000 boxes/week too few. Bans on Doctors Without Borders hurt sick people. 1,300 Israel breaks cause deaths.

February 4: family of 5 killed, Gaza City. Board has too much Trump power, no Palestinian vote.

"Riviera" talk sounds like pushing people out for tourists. If hunger stays, Hamas hides, fights back.

Cause-and-effect and future steps

Blockade causes hunger; hunger causes anger at Board. Israel blocks to pressure Hamas; hurts all, makes Board look bad.

Board visions cause false hope without food. Need: 1,000 aid trucks/day, not 100.

Open Rafah, Kerem Shalom daily. Let Doctors Without Borders, Oxfam return. Stop strikes, pull back soldiers. Check violations, send peacekeepers.

Clear 50 million tons rubble, pay local workers. Build simple homes for 90%, not fancy first. Elections 2027, full Israeli leave, check no big Hamas guns. Then talk big hotels.

Conclusion

Peace Board manages pain, not ends it. Talks skyscrapers, delivers hunger.

Aid first—1,000 trucks, kids eat, shooting stops—or it fails Gaza. Real help now, not beach pictures later.
