He may not be in office, but Donald Trump has been speaking with the powers that be about Israel’s war on Gaza—but it’s not in an effort to end the genocide.

Instead, Trump has allegedly been talking with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to avert a cease-fire deal, fearing that doing so could help Vice President Kamala Harris win in November, according to PBS.

“The reporting is that former President Trump is on the phone with the Prime Minister of Israel, urging him not to cut a deal right now, because it’s believed that would help the Harris campaign,” said PBS’s Judy Woodruff Monday night. “So, I don’t know where—who knows whether that will come about or not, but I have to think that the Harris campaign would like for President Biden to do what presidents do, and that’s to work on that one.”

    I think he was questioning why biden gets it but trump has no need of defense in this much more specific action.

        And Trump is trying to STOP A CEASE FIRE for his own personal gain. But mum’s the word, apparently.

        its not about criticism in general its about the same group quickly jumping on and criticizing for their one issue with trump similar to how they do with biden. In particular given that this is trump trying to make it worse rather than just not taking action to make it better.

          Because it’s expected for Trump to be a genocidal monster and nobody expects to win him or Republicana in general over.

        And Trump is not even a public official and still calling the President of Israel trying to keep the conflict going.
