Summary

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich endorsed President-elect Donald Trump’s victory, stating it’s “time” to extend full Israeli sovereignty over the occupied West Bank.

This comes as Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu highlighted his alignment with Trump on the “Iranian threat.”

Tensions in Gaza and Lebanon have escalated following recent Israeli airstrikes, with regional leaders gathering in Riyadh to address Israeli actions.

Israeli President Isaac Herzog is set to meet President Biden, though Biden’s influence on Israel may be limited following Trump’s win.

    And that’s where I’m in constant disagreement. If this was a minor situation, I’d be probably more chill about it all, but the whole not thinking they’re going to be in an impacted group is a thing because the groups that will not be impacted in this is so small.

    Have coworker who just realized his being on his dad’s insurance is because of ACA. Have a coworker who was complaining about price of soybeans because his family was in that, that was Trumps last trade war with China and he’s wanting to start a bigger one. The Republicans wanting to deregulate most industries will affect internet, food, unions, etc.

    The things people complain about the democrats not standing up to the republicans have actively opposed. Been a final line in the sand for the massive sweeping social changes the conservatives have wanted to do since Nixon and Reagan.

    My arguments have never been “love the democrats”, it was “we just tossed the foxes into the henhouse.”
