...between Israel and Gaza.
Because nothing Trump does is aboveboard. Everything he is associated with is "shady".
This "negotiation" is likely no different. He is a dishonest broker. Most people know that. His partner, Netanyahu, is also a shady character and should not be trusted.
Nothing is as it appears.
In my opinion, this is all a scheme dreamed up by Trump and Bibi to permit Israel to stop bombing the rubble in Gaza. In some way or other, it is a benefit to both of them.

(1,963 posts)Are we so determined to hate Trump that anything he's associated with must be bad? Maybe this won't last, but starving people can get aid. Hostages got to go home. I'll take that because it's better than the situation was last week. Every peace between France and England failed until it didn't. Can't stop trying.
