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.

    And yes, people not voting are just trying to be left alone.

    unfortunately as an adult you don’t get that luxury. if you want to be left alone, move to Uzbekistan and live in the mountains.

    You’re advocating for violence against people who just want to go to work, have a beer on Friday, and feed their kids.

    I’m advocating for violence against Nazis.

    if they didn’t vote, who will know unless they tell. and if they tell, then they clearly want to incite, because by your definition, they “just want to go to work, have a beer on Friday, and feed their kids”. I don’t think anyone who wants that would even care enough to mention they didn’t vote, and in a few years they’ll be too ashamed to bring it up anyway.

      Oh so now we’re on don’t ask don’t tell?

      You’re just hitting all the highlights aren’t you?

      And no. You don’t get to tell people they have to leave their home. In your rush to fight a Nazi you’re starting to really sound like one.
