I thought Trump was gonna ramp it up and nuke the entirety of Gaza and the West Bank on day one, tho?

Don't get me wrong, death to America regardless of the septuagenarian in the hot seat, but y'all need to pick a lane lol

Not really the same situation, is it? Was Jimmy Carter sending Iran billions of dollars in weapons while also claiming he was attempting to get the hostages released? Do you have evidence that Israel was working with the Trump campaign to delay a ceasefire? When Reagan was campaigning against Jimmy Carter, was he making claims that Iran should kill all of the hostages?

Because the reporting seems to indicate that Trump's people simply put pressure on Israel and now this is the result.

Sure doesn't sound like they were working together, moreso that Trump was willing to put pressure where Biden was not. I say this as someone who loathes Trump.

Israel delayed stopping their Genocide by 1.5 years especially for Trump.

Luckily Biden kept topping up those 2000 pound bombs Israel would have ran out of like 50 times by now.
