Summary

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich endorsed President-elect Donald Trump’s victory, stating it’s “time” to extend full Israeli sovereignty over the occupied West Bank.

This comes as Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu highlighted his alignment with Trump on the “Iranian threat.”

Tensions in Gaza and Lebanon have escalated following recent Israeli airstrikes, with regional leaders gathering in Riyadh to address Israeli actions.

Israeli President Isaac Herzog is set to meet President Biden, though Biden’s influence on Israel may be limited following Trump’s win.

    Genocide lowers turnout.

    Which is exactly why Netanyahu made sure not to slow it down. Because low turnout=Republican win. And he knows which candidate will allow him to literally wipe Palestine off the map

      Biden sent Netanyahu every weapon he was allowed to, and had the military protecting Israel.

      If the Biden admin didn’t want Netanyahu to do this, they could have just not actively supported his efforts to do so.

      This was obvious to everyone from the beginning.

      Even blue MAGA were doing “But you still need to vote biden, even if the dems never stop facilitating genocide” since Oct 8th, because deep down, they understood the dems wouldn’t listen, even if it was going to cost them the election.
