    Trump and Co also put pressure not to allow a deal during the Biden admin so that there wouldn’t be any shared credit. Netanyahu and the Israeli government went along with it because they thought they could get a better deal and so far that looks to be the case considering there hasn’t been any pushback since they violated the ceasefire that was in place and escalated the genocide in the last few months including blocking all aid since shortly after Trump took office. https://apnews.com/article/israel-palestinians-hamas-war-ceasefire-hostages-netanyahu-ff48f081b069e484955a72bc68261364

    Miss me with that revisionist history.

      Biden had years to get a ceasefire done and never once demanded it. You can’t deny that. The only reason Trump was able to interfere is because Biden took forever, and there was no reason to take the Biden deal because they knew what they would get with Biden - absolute freedom to do whatever they wanted and he wouldn’t do anything if they slow rolled it out interfered with the deal. The Biden admin made that obvious and Israel here has confirmed it. The ceasefire failing is awful but we would have never got one in the first place if Biden was still President. And the genocide has lways been escalating. They were already restricting aid during Biden, that’s why they tried to do that stupid pier thing that failed, even though they could have demanded Israel open up the roads for aid trucks. It’s always been steadily increasing in more destruction, less aid, more dead journalists, more dead UNRWA and other aid workers, etc. It’s the same deal as before just in a Trumpian instead of Biden fashion.
