Israeli officials suggested that the increased military aid was part of a deal to get Netanyahu to agree to the Gaza ceasefire deal. Trump’s envoy for the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, has said he’s pushing for the full implementation of the agreement, but the ceasefire is very fragile as Netanyahu doesn’t want to implement the second phase.

Well it's certainly an improvement over the eight billion the Dems just sent.

Trump has 4 years to catch up. He has to fund his plan to remove all Gazans.

Maybe. But there's a big difference between what Trump might do in the future and what the Democrats have already actually done for real.

Trump - casinos, brothels, and gangsters

Democrats - Naval bases, air bases, brothels

Yeah, that latter is way more harmful.

That what Trump will do will be worse is a certainty for anyone who paid attention the last time he was in office.
