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.”

      Speak for yourself, as you’ve just laid down the one single acknowledgement of Trump’s interference I’ve seen since the story broke.

        How would you even know, are you checking the posting history of every reply to see who has also criticized Biden?

        You’re just assuming that everyone else is anti-genocide when it helps trump but is totally cool when it’s Biden approving another weapons shipment.

          Which weapon shipment? The one that won’t arrive until 2026? Biden is in office and has responsibility for his actions involving Israel. He’s also trying to get a ceasefire deal, whereas Trump is interfering in the deal for political gain.

          I can acknowledge Biden’s hands aren’t clean. Can you acknowledge that Trump interfering is far worse…?
