“If he decides…” This suggests thought and deliberation. Hard to imagine. Maybe the phrasing should be, “If he swings this way….or if he swings that way…” The way he is swinging is pretty clear, as you say. “Peacemaker” was a lie to win the election. The bizarre AI-generated video is crazy, and he’s all about crazy right now. Does he need staff to pull off something that is not really serious? Rational people should expect him to deliver chaos as he lets Netanyahu have his way. I’m sorry for the Palestinian people. If there’s any hope for them in any of this, Trump won’t be the source. Why did so many people believe his “peacemaker” lie?

Maybe they want a piece of the holy land for themselves?

I think it would be great if the current Administration would stop telling the rest of the world what to do. Would it like to be told what to do? I didn't think so. Israel has to do what Israel has to do. So do Mexico and Canada and Greenland and.....

You are mistaken to think that everyone agrees with you on this. Countries have to coexist together on the planet, and when the U.S does things that are wrong I DO I’m fact appreciate an outcry from the world community, just as when the U.S. takes a stand (or has done so, historically) against human rights abuses and abuses of power elsewhere. Should the United States have kept silent when Nazi Germany was killing millions of Jews and invading the rest of Europe?

A well written and balanced account. I would suggest that a greater emphasis could have been noted on the difference approach of the Biden vs Trump staffs during the transistion. One was professional and detail orientated which resulted in some progress. The other did support the work of previous team but now lack the expertise or a road map of how to actually negociate in good faith. This is typical of Trump, all show and no substance.
