Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich welcomed President-elect Donald Trump’s electoral victory Monday, saying that “the time has come” to extend full Israeli sovereignty over the occupied West Bank.
He made the comment a day after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a recorded statement that he has spoken three times with Trump since the election and that they “see eye to eye on the Iranian threat.
There is quite literally zero evidence that Biden or Harris - who served wine from a West Bank settlement at the fucking White House - would have punished Israel in any real way for annexations.
OK dude, sure.
Read the headline again and use your brain this time.
I did read it. It’s very simple: they believe it will be more politically expedient under Trump to annex the West Bank. They are correct. But I strongly believe that if they had done it under Biden, the sanctions and punjshments they could expect would have been minimal regardless. This is a man who has helped them exterminate what is likely to be 100,000 children.
