Israel wants to start negotiations over a massive new aid deal that could shape the U.S.-Israeli relationship for the next 20 years. But it is far from certain, as support for Israel is at an all-time low. The time to stop the deal is now.
Donald Trump aims to push Israel-Saudi normalization next week during his meeting with Mohammed bin Salman. MBS favors a weapons deal and a defense pact, while Israel will be in the background, working to ensure its regional dominance remains intact.
As Trump’s administration struggles to find ways to implement its fatally flawed “20-Point Plan” for Gaza, it has taken the surprising step of trying to obtain the approval of the United Nations Security Council. Here’s why that’s unlikely to work.
A year-old “ceasefire” is being upheld in Lebanon despite almost daily Israeli military strikes. The Trump administration can still prevent the fragile truce from falling apart, but only if it forces Israel to follow the agreement.
Gaza is now trapped in the limbo of the uncertainty surrounding the Trump plan. The U.S. might prevent Netanyahu from resuming Israel’s genocide, but unless Palestinians gain full control over Gaza’s future, it’s just a slower form of killing.
