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.

      This is just genocide apologia at this point. Biden and Harris were not trying to end the war, stop defending war criminals.

      Crazy how you only care about Palestinians being rounded up and removed from Gaza now that Trump is threatening to do it, rather than when Biden and Harris were actually doing it.
