Donald Trump's decisive role in pushing forward the potential ceasefire is evidence that Joe Biden refused to use his full powers as president.

Any USA president can simply use the full powers to stop the genocide. Israel is basically a client state, and although it has protections against many actions to cut off aid; there is more than one way, has been many ways, to strong arm them.

Reagan used it in the 1980s during one famous phone call that took 10 minutes, most of it waiting for other people to get to the phone, to stop the Israeli army.

The fact Biden refused to do the same, but went on to pretend to always have a peace deal on the brink, may be copied by Trump. It’s a great way to stay in the news cycle. Or he may do a Reagan, or nuke Israel, and/or Gaza, or forget they exist. Or confuse them with Mexicans.

It’s really hard to know what will happen

They could try to use their leverage and threaten to cut off aid. Biden did not do that but he probably should have. There is no way that Traitorapist Trump would do such a thing since he is as bad as the terrible Israeli PM.

Adding to all that, I’m not sure when or how his dementia makes him controllable by other people just as bad
