Anyone who has been paying attention to Netanyahu knows that he was planning to kill the cease-fire, and anyone who has been paying attention to Trump knows that the idea that he would finally be the one to reign in Netanyahu, and that’s what’s happening here, is a bunch of raving gibberish. I won’t say there won’t be a short performative cease-fire eventually, although to me it seems a little unlikely. But, big picture, the killing will continue and accelerate under Trump, as it was incredibly obvious that it would.
Update: More proof has happened. Netanyahu has said that he won’t let the cabinet vote on the ceasefire yet.
