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.
Thats just wild logic there. Im not saying you’re right or wrong but I personally struggle to see how that would make sense. To me its like taking the on fire bus we are all on and deciding to let the crazy guy swerve us all off the cliff rather than at least keep going so some people can jump off, or work out a better solution. Instead people are much more certainly going to die and be hurt
I see what you’re saying, and sadly your analogy does fit the current situation. To add to it, the Dems were in the driver’s seat a few miles back - they saw a shallow, placid lake just off the side of the road that they could have rolled the bus into to safely extinguish the flames. Unfortunately, the senate parliamentarian placed a sticky note on the dash that said you can’t drive the bus into large bodies of water. So the poor Dems had no choice but to floor the accelerator and speed right past the bus people’s salvation. Besides, they promised nothing fundamental about the bus’ trajectory would change under their stewardship, and by golly that’s the one promise they intend to keep!
