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.

    They’re emotional but they’re also correct. Israel controls the West Bank in all but name already.

      people don’t even bother checking what israel has been for the last year and then make statement “democrat would be better”. Israel with AIPAC own the US. They democrats government couldn’t even say ceasefire nor did Canada, France, or Germany. Democrat and Republic has different approach to China and Russia and maybe Iran, but Palestinian ? there is no way democrat would stop anything.
