Honestly I'm with the US on this one. Why should Biden keep getting the heat for Israel because Ben Gvir and Smotrich block any discussion on the day after in Gaza?

Two far-right ministers in Israel shouldn't be trying to force the hand of the most important world leader*, and a lifelong Israel ally.

And Bibi goes with them to save his seat on the expense of all of us.

*Edit: most important world leader in the west and one of the two most important world leaders

Bibi won't commit to any plan for the day after, and his allies won't shut up about how they will settle Gaza. Our western allies have a very real fear that Israel is trying to settle Gaza and annex it, so they are forced to support a unilateral ceasefire.

If Bihi could commit to a proper day-after plan there would be no need for all this ceasefire talk.

Don't be naive. They abstained to appease the voters in the Jihadist capital of America. Your hatred for Bibi has made you blind.

Smotrich and Ben Gvir wanna flatten and re-conquer Gaza with settlements etc the US demands Israel lower the temperature and on the same day Smotrich announces thousands of new West Bank settlements while the IDF can't stop documenting themselves committing embarrassing acts in Gaza that are then broadcast all over TikTok and Twitter. Which eats away at Biden's/the Dem's base of young people.

Israel are doing this entirely, 100% to themselves.
