🇺🇸🇵🇸🇮🇱⚡️- President Trump says phase 1 of Gaza peace deal should be completed this week.

“The technical teams will again meet Monday, in Egypt, to work through and clarify the final details. I am told that the first phase should be completed this week, and I am asking everyone to MOVE FAST.”

There has been a lot of talk in the past week about Trump imposing this peace deal on Israel after he “finally had enough” of Netanyahu.

First it was reported that Netanyahu was going around saying that he controlled America. Trump seemed to respond publicly for the first time when he said “I won’t allow it,” speaking about the planned annexation of the West Bank.

Then came Netanyahu’s apology to Qatar and agreement “in principle” with the 20-point plan on Monday. This week we see planted stories on both sides about Trump threatening a break with Israel and his frustration with Netanyahu.

And the same people who have been wrong about everything are literally tripping over themselves to fall for this charade again. If Trump is serious about restraining Israel this time then it would be an historic, unprecedented breakthrough.

And that is because every single time this plays out, in the end Trump will cave and Netanyahu will do whatever he wants. This happened in March when Netanyahu reneged on the Gaza deal and in June when Netanyahu decided to veto US diplomacy with Iran.

We already know how this movie ends.
