The Trump administration has no plan for Gaza other than supporting Israel’s perpetual war
As the first phase of the Gaza ceasefire comes to an end it is clear the Trump White House has no substantive policy for the region. Israel is filling that vacuum with perpetual war.

"Trump has given tacit approval to Israeli actions since the ceasefire came into effect on January 19. More than 90 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza by Israeli attacks. Israel has also violated the ceasefire by obstructing the delivery of heavy machinery to start clearing away rubble; preventing the delivery of mobile homes and tents to temporarily shelter the people of Gaza, especially in the almost totally destroyed north; delaying the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners; and now by refusing to leave the Philadelphi Corridor.
All of this has taken place without comment from Washington. Trump has gotten what he most wanted in the short term, a ceasefire and more hostages freed. He may well see all the remaining Israeli hostages returned home, and that will be his victory. "

So the usual plan, then.

So they inherited democrat policy on the issue.

What happened to Trump Gaza? Just another stunt I see. Sick of this reality TV show. I want boring politics and to help my fellow countrymen.
-
Wasn't even a stunt. It was just callous, demented, and sick.
-
What did you expect?!
Trump is all show, just like his loverboy Putin…

I hope Netanyahu has to answer to his actions in the near future.

if biden doesnt have to, then neither will netanyahu.

Based on my frequent listening to behind the bastards, I'd say chances of that are low. Best we can probably hope for is really painful illness leading to a slow death.

He will absolutely get luigi'd

I thought so about trump 6 years ago…

If it was up to the Israeli government they would be flattening Gaza twice over again. But something is still holding them back. Possibly the Arab league pressuring Trump with that sweet oil money?
-
As much as israel postures as a tiger, they don't have the firepower to do that.

I thought Trump announced a plan of genocide to allow for his fantasy of bearded belly-dancers per the video he posted.

“The man who ends wars” 🤦🏻who can anyone believe a word coming out of this disgusting mouth?

The Democrats also had no plan for Gaza other than supporting Israel's perpetual war
-
But they did not tell to end the war only to let it continue, iirc
-
to be fair, it’d be fucked up if they did have a plan: it’s not their country, and they kept saying “2 state solution”, so their plan was to sit down with israel and palestinians and hammer out a mutually agreeable situation… anything more would just be making choices without consulting palestinians and that never works out for anyone

they're controlled opposition. they never learn sadly, but at least there was a ceasefire and some aid got in

Are you upset this is a Coca Cola flavored genocide, not a Pepsi flavored genocide?
Are you working towards passing electoral reform in your state? You should if you support democracy. Because democracy is not "vote for my preference or else".

Just voting for a president is no direct democracy, especially in a system designed like the US political system.
