Summary
Trump’s proposal for the U.S. to take over Gaza and resettle its Palestinian population was widely condemned by allies and adversaries alike.
Arab nations, including Egypt and Saudi Arabia, firmly rejected the plan, reaffirming support for Palestinian sovereignty. U.S. allies like Australia and New Zealand reiterated their backing of a two-state solution.
Critics, including Palestinian leaders and Hamas, denounced the move as illegal and destabilizing.
U.S. lawmakers also opposed it, with some calling it “dangerous” and “ethnic cleansing.”
Surprised this got announced while there are still hostages to release tbh…
It’s been pretty clear for a while that Bibi doesn’t give a shit about the hostages. They’ve already served their purpose for him
If that were true then why agree a ceasefire at all? If hostages were disposable then it would serve his purposes better to sabotage negotiations, blame Hamas, and continue destroying Rafah.
As it stands there appears to be at least some elements in Israel that count retrieving the hostages to be more important.
It was a quid pro quo with the Trump transition team. He gave them a big win and made Biden look ineffectual on the way out. Then Trump got into office and rewarded Bibi with a very very favourable outcome
He ran out of political capital to stall when Hamas was offering him the hostages back, most likely.
Same as trump caving with tariffs against Canada/Mexico once Canada/Mexico was trying very hard to remove the tariffs.
There’s only so much stalling you can do when the opposition is trying desperately to make “peace” work.
Bibi absolutely does not give a shit about the hostages. His actions have shown as much. He was already deeply unpopular in Israel before the war started, so I expect that he just ran out of political capital to keep his peers at bay.
They literally killed hostages raising a white flag. And killed hostages on October 7 with Hannibal directive.
There are many reasons behind agreeing to ceasefire but the hostages what the least of his concern.
So is everyone else.
In typical fashion of Trump no foresight. He goes into a meeting, thinks of a really stupid idea, and just gets up at the podium and says it, with absolutely NO thought as to what his words could mean on the geo-politcal stage.
US strategists must be losing their fucking mind.
They tell Trump how important Greenland and Panama is to US national security, and Dingledorf in chief gets up there and announces to the world US’s strategic ambitions and security short comings.
Art of the Deal indeed, announce how really important something is to you before you even start dealing.
What a goof. US is getting played so badly… He’s losing 1D chess.
Trump is the pigeon shitting on the board.
trump is the shit that landed on the board
