You right, ill change my title.
Edit: Here's the original discussion w/ timestamp. I want to say, I've been avoiding xwitter for so long I really hate linking it right now.

Here's a couple links if anyone wants to venture down this rabbit hole
https://www.axios.com/2024/08/15/trump-netanyahu-gaza-hostage-ceasefire-deal-call

Possible replacement for that twitter link, here's an article discussing Woodruff's comments - https://web.archive.org/web/20240820213405/https://newrepublic.com/post/185076/donald-trump-scheme-beat-kamala-harris-benjamin-netanyahu-ceasefire
I would delete it but it's too relevant to the meme. Alternative link to the dnc footage would be nice, tho.
The rueters one doesn't indicate anything about Trump talking to Bibi and discouraging him from setting up a peace deal.
To me it's still relevant because it establishes that trump has an open line of communication to bibi and he is directly expressing to him his thoughts about the Genocide in Gaza.
Wish there was more reporting around this.
Yeah. The hostage situation is “very tough”. They’re not gonna ‘fix’ that for him its just right out there like that’s how leaders talk. As if. And, agreed, he couldn’t lead a Mongol horde out of a wet paper bag.
I don’t see fox news reporting on Trump breaching the Logan act. They also know that Netanyahu will stop the attacks the second trump is elected to help him politically. It’s gross.
Non of those links confirm the tweet. Honestly this smells like fake news, as OP, has pointed out.
