With a mounting pile of scandals, each more gruesome than the other, it is awfully difficult to decide what to start with. From the purported plan to end the Gaza conflict to the Commonwealth Observer Group report, which has been made public after a criminal lapse of over 18 months, to the Shama Junejo episode, it appears that the unconstitutional and illegitimate government is finally unravelling.

The Trump plan for a settlement in Gaza is primarily an attempt to legitimise genocide. It has already taken over 65,000 lives, including children, those born and those still in their mothers’ wombs. The brutal and barbaric Israeli military assault, stretching to almost two years now, has reduced the entire strip into a sprawling rubble without any distinction made between work areas and residential quarters.

With no mention of the aggressor and whether it would be held to account for this unprecedented genocidal perpetration, no plan to set up a Palestinian state and no thought given to providing relief and reprieve to a starved and beleaguered people, the entire exercise comes across as a neo-colonial venture aimed at carving a lethal presence in the region to push it into permanent enslavement.

The capitulation of the entire Muslim leadership of the region is under acute public scrutiny and it appears no one will escape an indictment. How could one agree to a plan that does not ensure the rights of the Palestinian people to their own independent state, and how, even in their indescribable misery, could they be challenged to accept the draconian deal within a certain stipulated time frame or get ready for total annihilation? Is the world conscience dead? And what have the Muslim leaders sold their souls for?
