Bezalel Smotrich, Israel’s far-right finance minister, has said that he was given assurances that the war on Gaza would continue and Israel would launch a “gradual takeover of the entire Gaza Strip”.
Smotrich said that Gaza was currently “ruined and disintegrated, uninhabitable” an that it would “remain that way”.
He added: “Don’t be impressed by the forced joy of our enemy. This is an animalistic society that sanctifies death. Very soon, we will erase their smile again and replace it with cries of grief and the wails of those who were left with nothing.”
Netanyahu said in a video address on Saturday that Israel would continue its war on Gaza in “new, forceful ways” if the second stage of the ceasefire agreement proved to be “futile”.
“President [Donald] Trump and President Biden have given full backing to Israel’s right to return to combat if Israel concludes that negotiations on Phase B are futile.”
I mean if Harris had won it’d be “President Harris and President Biden” so if there’s supposed to be a difference here you’re not highlighting it.
Ceasefire deal wouldn’t have happened under Harris because she wouldn’t have made a deal with the far right to let them annex more of the West Bank plus whatever the fuck the guy in OP is privy too.
Under Harris it would’ve continued until the next Israeli scandal where they would’ve withheld some arms or funding, then as the scenes in the humanitarian zone become horrific enough to cause sufficient global backlash it couldve led to an actual progressive agreement being pressured.
Some people were saying Trump would be the better option because he hadn’t done anything in Palestine, so he was the better alternative
Is there a peace deal now that his ambassador, Steve Witkoff, forced through?
Even if it is temporary, that is still better.
There is no worse then rock bottom. That is where Biden is. The worst you could do is stay in the same place.
I’ll believe it when I see it, lol
In Trump’s time as president, he has consistently used his shovel to find places deeper than rock bottom.
You just did.
Israel just releaseed 77 children from prison.
Because of Trump? Do you have a source for that?

There is a lot of sources. This is basically public knowledge. Any search would have found them for you.
I should have run the link above through the Let Me Google That For You website.
You don’t “force through” a negotiation. Trump and his crew of brigands deserve no credit and you should feel embarrassed for thinking they do.
You absolutely do for a client state that is completely dependant on your free weapons and money.
This is the same deal that has been in place since May.
Biden could have forced this through at any time, exactly as Reagan, Clinton, and Bush did.
You should feel embarrassed that you literally know nothing about our relationship with Israel.
Qatar literary said it is the same deal since February 2024. Israel Media literary said, Trump advisor came request meeting on Saturday, Israel refused and he made it clear they are doing the meeting.
Trump advisor did two trip to Qatar and they say we reaching a deal.
Meanwhile, Blinken, do a trip and leave, the next day more bombing happens.
No one saying Trump is the good guy, but we cannot deny the truth he wanted a ceasefire and it happened.
Meanwhile Biden didn’t want a ceasefire otherwise it would have happened.
