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.

Blaming the people for the predictable effects of the dem's actions deflects away from only entity that had the power to change the outcome and the only entity that will have the power to change this in 2026.

It's not constructive to go "Damn, I sure wish genocide didn't decrease turnout for the dems"

Just like in 2016, the dems deluded themselves into blaming the voters (specifically black people and/or the left) and bernie sanders instead of themselves, and we are watching them do it again in real time.

I would argue democrat donors preferred a trump win and preferred dem turnout be low because they had a decent campaign for a second and shut it down.

What your saying only makes sense if you operate from the idea dems want to win and not that they want to hand a victory their donors.

In 2016 actual democrat operative tried to twistpeople's arms to vote. This election that energy did not come from the mainstream democrats. Their pitch was "we don't need you, we want republicans instead".

The calculus is different when you recognize both parties hate you.
