Ben-Gvir resigned from Netanyahu’s cabinet over the ceasefire, but Donald Trump has brought him back into the fold with his stated plan to ethnically cleanse Gaza and make it a US territory.
Smotrich was also threatening to leave, and he’s now all-in.
All of the Israelis appear very hyped about this scheme, which still doesn’t really make sense to the average observer (myself included).
RT:
US President Donald Trump is “acting as a messenger of God for the Jewish people,” Israel’s Ultra-Orthodox Shas party leader Aryeh Deri stated in response to the US president’s proposal for America to assume control over Gaza.
…
The reaction among Israeli politicians has been overwhelmingly enthusiastic.
“You are acting as a messenger of God for the Jewish people, and you have achieved great success because of your steadfast stand on the right side of the people of Israel against all its enemies,” Deri responded.
…
Former National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir expressed his excitement on social media, writing, “Donald, this looks like the beginning of a beautiful friendship.” Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich also voiced support, emphasizing the potential for significant positive change in the region.
In other news, Cenk is leaving the MAGA movement.
Netanyahu is playing with fire. He humiliated America today. He made Trump look like his servant. Mainstream media can spin it all they like, but the American people are waking up to the fact that no matter which party wins, Israel stays in charge. We’re growing tired of this.
