“We call our masses, our nation, and free people around the world in a global movement against the plans to uproot our Palestinian people, in the coming Friday, Saturday, and Sunday to march against the plan of the occupation and its supporters,” Hamas said in a statement.

    Are we doing revisionist history now? Without Trump the ceasefire wouldn’t have happened, Biden made it clear that he wouldn’t force Israel to agree with it. And Israel would never agree with it on itself if Trump didn’t force them.

      You’re right in that Trump wanted the war to drag out to prevent a win by Biden. Some suspect that he actively worked against peace similar to what Reagan did to Carter

      Trump directly or indirectly communicated with Netanyahu to first promote this ceasefire, not questioning Israel spendings, providing a wider variety of weapons and now this. Waaay before that it’s been claimed by some media that Gasa is set to become one large real estate development project run by israelis once palestinians get deported and their houses brought down. I am sure it all was on paper before Trump started phase one for how he’d look slapping dems with it and then he and his friends would join the grift, maybe open another casino.

      Bibi gifted him a golden pager. Ceasefire wasn’t a compromise involving Palestine in any way. It was a deal between two of them.

      Revisionist history now includes pretending that the correct fascist but not in chief totally didn’t prevent the cease fire in the first place for political purposes.

      Yes, there was a fragile peace that Biden negotiated IN SPITE OF Der Furhur’s efforts.

        “But two Arab officials told The Times of Israel that Steve Witkoff, the Middle East envoy of Donald Trump – who begins his second term as US president on Monday – did more to sway Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in one meeting than Biden did in a whole year.

        The prevailing analysis in the Israeli media is that it was the incoming Trump administration’s pressure on Netanyahu, rather than Israeli pressure on Hamas, that got the agreement over the finish line.”

        Biden was never willing to put any pressure on Israel. With the US holding all the cards since they’re the primary funders of Israel’s war efforts, Biden had every opportunity to force a ceasefire before Trump did.

        The idea that Trump had any power over Biden while Biden could just decide to stop sending weapons is extremely naive. It’s an attempt to dismiss democrat’s complicity in the genocide on the Palestinian people. We should never forget that both the democrats and the republicans are fully supportive of this horrific genocide.

          You realize this supports my position too, when we’re talking about trump preventing it through unofficial back channels, right? Trump did more so quickly because this was always the plan.

          This is basically the Iranian hostage scandal playing out again.

            It doesn’t support your position at all because I’ll repeat, Biden held all the cards when he was president. He could just threaten to stop sending weapons.

              It’s like talking to a brick wall with these Democrat fanboys, but I appreciate that you try!
