The Gaza conflict has shown that the Trump-Netanyahu policy has utterly failed | Patrick Cockburn

Dividing up Palestinians between Jerusalem, Gaza, the West Bank and Israel has produced four different variants of the Israel/Palestinian conflict

www.independent.co.uk

Israeli police efforts to evict Palestinians from the Sheikh Jarrah neighbourhood of Jerusalem and their use of stun grenades and tear gas in al-Aqsa mosque led to Hamas firing rocket barrages from Gaza. This in turn provoked protests by Palestinians in Israel on a larger scale than anything seen since the second intifada 20 years ago. On the West Bank, protesters poured into the streets in every town and the internationally recognised Palestinian Authority was mocked and marginalised.

Trumps attempt to appease his crazy evangelical base has backfired and probably made it worse. Adult leadership in Washington needs to be matched in Tel Aviv to see any progress. But dont hold your breath.

1. The situation between Israel and Hamas will never be peaceful. No so long as a single Hamas terrorist is breathing. They have always sworn to destroy Israel and never really backed off on that stance.
2. Trump never brokered any standing deal between Hamas and Israel.
3. Trump did negotiate formal ties between Israel and the Arab nations of the UAE, Sudan, Morocco and Bahrain. Those ties are still holding.
4. The only thing that regularly occurs between Hamas and Israel, are temporary cease fires.

TRUMP!'s not in charge any more, did you miss that?

He lost the election?

No, he lost the SElection.

.Hamas figured they would get a free reign without too much consequences they figured wrongly....

Too right they did! They lost one hell of a lot of men and materiel. It pleases me to know that hundreds of their trained killers were buried alive in tunnels they dug to kill Jews in Israel. The next go-round, the leaders will play hell getting their men to go subterranean

The Trump years saw the most peaceful period in global history in millenia.

Synagogues shootings, anti semitism and Islamophobia attacks rises, attacks on minorities. Las Vegas shooting marked as the deadliest in US history.

Wrong:
1)happened on Biden's watch due to policy on Iran, remember they are the rocket suppliers and funding and revenge wing against Israel having to take out their facility grid=also blame for the facility's advancement which goes far back to Biden's and pal John Kerry's former watch.
2)the UAE's response blaming Hamas shows Trumps peace deal worked and stayed intact.
UAE knows this is Iran's dirty hands.
3)Trump never made a peace deal with Hamas, some of that blame goes to obstructionists dems in the house and senate.
once again: Biden did not act on Iran, so Israel had to do it, this caused Iran to use it's Hamas proxy rockets as retaliation=this one's all Biden and Kerry and some Obama leftover blame.
The face of someone saying
"oops did I do that?"

Palestine need to get their money back on their rockets because they are crap. They need baby killing rockets like Israel has.

These are the same people that are raping your children. Not much more to say after that.

How are they raping our children all the way from Palestine ? This is the stupidest comment you have ever made and that is quite a feat.

There is one policy that would work quite well if Israel and the US had the stomach for it -- pushing all the Palestinians out of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. Then a policy of retaliation in any country that allows rocket strikes to fire at Israel.

If it came to war, it would be a short one, assuming no nation building goes on and drone strikes are heavily used.
