The problem is not military restrictions. Biden did not have any either. The problem is recognition of annexed territories. We see how Israel is clearing out the northern part of Gaza and they are already talking about annexing the West Bank. We are likely to see a lot more violence in the West Bank soon. My guess is parts of Jerusalem and Jericho being in focus.

Trump will enable any genocide the Israelis commit, and loudly gloat over it.

But yeah, both sides are the same...

Despite what Biden said, there never were any restrictions. Israel gave basically had a free for all since the beginning. White phosphorus was used right at the beginning and no consequences happened. They bombed hospital and nothing happened. They killed aid workers and nothing happened. Unless trump sends American troops in then nothing changes, Israel is going to do what it was always going to do.

Hey OP can you list the restrictions currently in place?

[-] donuts@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

They are mentioned in the article, if we can call it that. But no specifics:

Currently, U.S. restrictions include an embargo on a certain weapons shipment and limitations on various combat-related equipment, even if they do not involve explosive ordnance.

What does this entail, nukes?

The 2000 pound bombs are still flowing. I can't think of a single restriction.

This is because none of it is enforced and it OOS just a fig leaf. They claimed to embargo "offensive" weaponry while keeping a firehose of JDAM shipments to the Zionist entity.

So ... Nothing real. OK.
