If the rumors are right that Trump will recognize Palestine next week (we have to see the conditions and what borders), but in any case give any credit to Palestinians... I wonder what Germany and France will say would they go down with Israelś government. Israel, as we know it, won´t survive. It won´t be the poor Palestinians, nor Iran or Egypt... it will be their own population as many will burst out of their delusional bubbles and poke the rest. Germany, unless correcting its path now, will end up the same.
@edel @europe @geneva_convenience praying they are true, but not likely...
I think it is true, but since the leaks (I have a feeling Israel is behind it), the pressure that Trump will be facing till next week to water it down will be horrendous. I already saw members of his administration trying to reassure Israel, but it is unequivocal that Trump is having a change of heart, probably since Netanyahu's last visit. Now, like in his previous administration that he ordered the exit Afghanistan and scale down from Syria, the establishment completely disobeyed, dragged their feat or simply followed some one's else orders. Even presidents, with thousands high ranking and autonomous working underneath them, it is very easy to work against the President and even go unnoticed doing so... Once could see this as a safeguard, but it is not in this case.
Trump also did a tough man talk for Zelensky and then turned around after he got his mineral deal.
It is very much possible that Trump is simply trying to get some concessions out of Israel. Unlike the most politicians he is not afraid of being portrayed as the bad guy by his allies when he wants concessions. Because he thinks that world politics is somehow similar to real estate and the long term reputation of America does not matter.
Good point!
