The Israel-Hamas ceasefire entered a third day Tuesday, while US President Donald Trump said he doubted the fragile deal would hold.
“Gaza is like a massive demolition site,” Trump said as he signed a flurry of executive orders following his inauguration.
Asked whether he believed the two sides would maintain the truce, Trump said: “That’s not our war; it’s their war. But I’m not confident.”
Trump had claimed credit for the three-phase ceasefire agreement announced ahead of his return to the White House by Qatar and the United States, following months of fruitless negotiations under his predecessor Joe Biden.
Technically, Israel already broke the cease fire. A sniper killed a kid in Rafa and then opened fire on an adult trying to retrieve the body.
Link is here, but warning, it’s mostly video and nobody needs to see that shit:
Pretty weird how the entire media is collectively ignoring this.
I mean, have we reached a point where Israel killing a kid in Gaza is no longer news?
Decades ago.
We have passed that point a long time ago. I thought the ceasefire would make it newsworthy again. Guess no.
They did their job. They made sure the current administration knows about it and does their owners’ bidding.
Is it?
Israel killing a child in Gaza and violating the ceasefire in a single day is huge news.
If Hamas killed an Israeli child during the ceasefire the front page of Reuters would have a spot left.
No major newspaper besides Aljazeera has given it the time of day so far.
Israel killing a child in Gaza and violating the ceasefire in a single day is huge news.
Nooo, it’s happened every time. And, since no one cared, they haven’t stopped.
Right, but is that really surprising, is what I mean…
Well, you see, Israel soldiers have to kill a certain number of children per week or else they’ll go feral. Obviously, these minimum necessary killings aren’t counted against the ceasefire. /s
Israel has never followed a ceasefire if the requirements are “stop the killings”. They just slow the killings
Bullshit. Donald Trump is always confident. If he saying publically that he is not , all that means is that he has already cut a deal with Bibi to blow up the cease fire and blame it on the Palestinians.
And if he is calling Gaza a demolition site, that just means he is already planning to build a resort over it.
His plan seems as obvious as it is simplistic.
Make honking sounds in public about how only he can end the war.
In private tell Bibi to hurry up and finish killing / imprisoning the Palestinians.
At some point Bibi will have killed and subjugated the lot of them and then trump can make additional honking noises about how he ended the war (just no one look for any of those pesky Palestinians, don’t know where they went, war is chaotic and it wasn’t even our war and he ended it bigly)
Bibi gets his genocide, trump gets to take credit as a peace maker, and all it will take is the wholesale slaughter of the Palestinian people.
And now France24 is reporting Trump’s assessment of a geopolitical situation as if he knows anything? How pathetic.
Of course it won’t. He doesn’t want it to hold. He is okay with Israel invading and settling. It is what he wants.
It’ll make the christian evangelicals in his base happy. They want a dominant Israel so that Jesus will come back.
Inb4 trump instigates the next round
