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.

    A shitty campaign does not excuse you from sitting back and allowing fascism to take over. You share in the blame.

      I did no such thing. I place the blame on Trump voters, Harris, and the DNC

        I wonder if you ever admit fault or if it’s always someone else.

          Yeah, I’m going to take zero blame for the outcome of these past three presidential elections as I held my nose and voted for the terrible slew of (D) candidates each time which resulted in two losses and one near loss. When are you going to hold the party accountable for their performance and unwillingness to support electable candidates?

            That’s not what I said.

            I said:

            I wonder if you ever admit fault or if it’s always someone else.

            Since you didn’t answer, I’m going to have to assume you don’t ever admit fault.

            When are you going to hold the party accountable for their performance and unwillingness to support electable candidates?

            I do. There is lots of blame to go around and you share in it by sitting back and allowing a genocidal fascist dictator to take power because of your ideological arrogance.

              I did answer by saying that I’m going to take zero blame for this mess.

              I also said that I did vote for Harris, so I’m confused about your “sitting back and allowing a genocidal fascist dictator to take power” comment. I’ve been preaching about the DNC’s incompetence since they allowed him to get elected in 2016 but I’m always met with opposition from people who think the DNC’s losing strategy is the correct strategy even though there’s no metric where this makes any sense.

                I didn’t ask you if you would admit fault about this.

                I asked you if you’ve ever admitted fault about anything.

                Clearly you have not.
