.. bets on when Netanyahu publicly denies and/or violates said ceasefire? Just like every other deal thee US tried to declare so far?

[–] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 4 points 1 hour ago

Let's see... the announcement is expected within the next 30-31 hours so I'm going to say about 31 hours from now.

Trump to receive 100% of the credit…

He'll claim credit. Then 12 hours after his inauguration when israel violates ceasefire and attacks again (being emboldened by trump), he'll immediately start pointing fingers and tweet "Sleepy Joe's FAILED ceasefire deal have ENDANGERED our Israeli allies. We now have no choice but to FINISH the war on OUR TERMS against the extremist TERRORIST HAMAS. God BLESS America! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸"

And the magats will accept both as fact, like the double-thinking IngSoc citizens they are.

Wonder how much of this is down to Netanyahu’s troops firing on UN peacekeepers, including a lot of Europeans? If he loses the EU, he may really be screwed (or so we can hope).
