Trump's incoming "Board of Peace" is preparing to seize Palestinian territory using administrative methods developed during the U.S. occupation of Iraq, Dawn reported. The approach relies on legal designations and bureaucratic mechanisms rather than direct military action, representing what Palestinians describe as a form of violence that persists beyond military campaigns.
The strategy reflects a pattern of administrative control that has historically outlasted armed conflict. Palestinian observers note this method of territorial appropriation operates through quiet legal mechanisms—designations, ledgers, and formal orders—that can prove more durable than conventional military occupation.
