Israeli officials suggested that the increased military aid was part of a deal to get Netanyahu to agree to the Gaza ceasefire deal. Trump’s envoy for the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, has said he’s pushing for the full implementation of the agreement, but the ceasefire is very fragile as Netanyahu doesn’t want to implement the second phase.

    I think they pretty clearly wanted the Democratic party to stop arming Israel, which did not happen, and probably wouldn’t have happened if they were elected, either, given they made no promises on it and gave no real indications of course correction.

    This is like if the guy on watch duty on the Titanic spent a year screaming about how they’re heading directly for an iceberg, the captain did nothing, and then got mad at the guy on watch when the iceberg sank the ship.

      It’s almost like nothing would change no matter who won and Israel was just a political pawn to help Trump win.

        Wow, I can’t believe people weren’t more motivated to vote for “nothing will change no matter who wins.” Truly nobody could have foreseen and warned of this.
