Israeli officials suggested that the increased military aid was part of a deal to get Netanyahu to agree to the Gaza ceasefire deal. Trump’s envoy for the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, has said he’s pushing for the full implementation of the agreement, but the ceasefire is very fragile as Netanyahu doesn’t want to implement the second phase.
Just curious, if Kamala did the same arms transfer shortly after getting elected; how would you respond or what would you do?
Would you assure others that she is working tirelessly on a ceasefire despite her vow to always give them the ability to defend themselves?
As I have said before Israel was irrelevant to the election as neither candidate was going to act differently. It was only used as a weapon by conservatives to strip votes from Harris.
You mean it was a lay up for Harris she refused to capitalize on because she personally received too much money in bribes.
Or maybe she didn’t have a simple black and white opinion on a very nuanced situation and recognized that pulling support for Israel would only lose the US it’s seat at the negotiating table.
Given multiple experts have stated Israel cannot continue it’s genocide without us support, this is incorrect. The US holds all of the cards.

If genocide isn’t negotiable for your party, maybe you should find a new one.
I hate it, but it’s a two party system. You have to pick one.
In that case, if genocide is a non-negotiable certainty of American policy, then the lesser evil choice is whichever party will collapse the USA fastest.
Nice of you to be so willing to sacrifice all the lives that such a collapse would cost
Damn, you sure abandoned lesser-evilism quickly when you could be on the receiving end.
The people who told Democrats for months to change position were Democrats and people who worked in the democratic party, some of whom did so for decades.

Well now you can tell Republicans to change their position. I’m sure they will listen rather than shoot you with rubber bullets.
What if?

We only know that Bibi wanted trump to win.
I’m asking out of genuine curiosity, what are they doing besides shaming others? What’s done is done - we are here now.
If they had constructive or productive intentions it could apply to the current moment even with Trump in office.
