Netter just deported a ton of people from Gaza, time to act like trunp de-escalated the war and Netty will call for a seize fire gets to take the land back while everyone is deported.
I kinda have a suspicion that he was already doing this. Even if Trump wasn’t working with Netanyahu before, Netanyahu clearly prefers Trump, and Biden was playing into his hands.
But Harris isn’t president and isn’t in a position to help Netanyahu with his genocide.
This reads to me like Trump and Netanyahu are meeting to see how to change their strategy to get Trump elected.
Of course you’re right, but this time America-- significantly, the part that votes Democratic-- is pretty divided over it and that plays to Trump’s strength. By agreeing to keep the war going until next year, Bibi can accomplish at least two things simultaneously. First, it keeps the Democratic base divided between supporting the Israeli state vs doing anything substantive about the death, destruction and genocide occurring in Gaza. Any Democratic candidate that takes a stance against the war publicly will suddenly find their opponent very well funded. Meanwhile a key bloc of voters remains alienated by the party’s policy. It’s a heavy albatross hung about the necks of the Democrats. Harris has to campaign with that as a backdrop, and of course the Republicans will make hay over it.
Second, if and once Trump back is in office then Israel will be free to roll through Gaza and perhaps even the West Bank, completely wiping out any chance of a Palestinian state. The war ends, and Trump gets to say he resolved the conflict, which means “he won.”
So, yes. Different than 1980, but not really. All Republican dirty tricks-- and violations of the Logan Act-- to muddy up an election for fun and profit.
This should not be allowed. Trump is a private citizen and does not work for our government. He has no business meeting with foreign leaders about anything.
The US does not recognize the International Criminal Court in The Hague. In fact, the US has given itself the legal right to invade The Hague in case they ever charge a US citizen or one of their allies.
