Trump win means ‘time has come’ to annex parts of West Bank, Israeli minister says - eviltoast

Summary

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich endorsed President-elect Donald Trump’s victory, stating it’s “time” to extend full Israeli sovereignty over the occupied West Bank.

This comes as Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu highlighted his alignment with Trump on the “Iranian threat.”

Tensions in Gaza and Lebanon have escalated following recent Israeli airstrikes, with regional leaders gathering in Riyadh to address Israeli actions.

Israeli President Isaac Herzog is set to meet President Biden, though Biden’s influence on Israel may be limited following Trump’s win.

    someone who thinks both party’s won’t help

    So this entire slog I’ve went thru to help you understand…

    Is because when someone says:

    Apple pie is delicious

    You take that as a statement of fact and not their opinion because they didn’t say:

    I think Apple pie is delicious.

    There is nothing I can do to help you here or with anything else you may have difficulty with in the future.

      EDIT: removed a block of text that took all too long to type out because I’m not going to spend more time further arguing the interpretation of someone’s comment as if it were religious script.

      Quite frankly it hardly matters. You asked for proof of folks politically engaged yet not voting, I shared what I thought constitutes proof. You believe it doesn’t qualify, but other folks reading this can draw their own conclusions.

      Thanks for keeping the conversation civil - have a good one!
