Trump Term 1 Israel-Palestine policy boiled down to “sure, Bibi, whatever you want.”
Could see settlements in Gaza and partial West Bank annexation with US acceptance, even approval.
Critics who denounced Biden’s policy as giving Israel “a blank check” are about to see what one actually looks like.

The children always suffer the consequences of their elders in every nation.
Palestine is not special in this regard.
@jgobble At this point I don't feel sorry for either group. They both had the information and chose to ignore the facts.
@jgobble Unfortunately.
