You’re gonna need some real evidence if you’re claiming The Guardian is publishing straight up lies.
Lies are a little different from horseshit. Or, if you want the technical term, bullshit.
I have no doubt that the Times of Israel actually published the things The Guardian said they published. I also see no reason to doubt that Trump’s negotiator met with Netanyahu’s people. The part that I think is horseshit is the whole narrative:
“They came to realise that Trump speaks at dictation pace, and they will never be able to outflank him from the right.” Trump is incredibly easy to outflank from the right. Putin does it, for example. I don’t actually know what “speaks at dictation pace” means, but if it means Trump is sharp on his feet and says things more quickly or succinctly or meaningfully than other people, then yes, that is false. My proof is any of his speeches or interviews. I’m sure it is technically true that someone said that and is now being quoted in The Guardian. What I’m questioning is why this untrue statement is being published all in the service of fellating Trump in general about his deal-making ability and his forceful treatment of the Netanyahu government.
Netanyahu, as he always does when successful cease-fire deals are announced by the US and Qatar, went out of his way to say that he hasn’t agreed to anything and still wants to work out the details. For all I know, he is planning on some amount of performative agreement to this one, followed by a resumption of the killing after a pretty short time.
Honestly, my proof is to be seen in the future. This cease-fire may, unlike the others, succeed for a short time and then collapse and the killing resume. Or Israel may simply throw it in the garbage as they did the others. The idea that Trump has fixed it now because he’s tougher than the previous State Department, the cunning artifice which The Guardian has assembled out of a series of technically-true statements, will absolutely be shown to be false, probably before too much time has passed.
