Palestinian lawyer Erakat argues Trump's Board of Peace extends beyond Gaza conflict
Palestinian human rights lawyer and Rutgers professor Noura Erakat discussed Israel's military campaign in Gaza and characterized the Trump administration's Board of Peace initiative as extending beyond regional conflict to represent a broader geopolitical framework. In an interview with Drop Site News conducted by Sharif Abdel Kouddous, Erakat — who published an essay titled "Exit and Exception" in Boston Review — argued that the Board of Peace matters less for whether it succeeds than for what it reveals: a political project driven by market fundamentalism that she sees as a blueprint for a new world order.
