Trump came along and said in October 2024 that he will end the 'war' before his second presidential inaugaration or immediately thereafter.
The Biden Administration realized that it would end and now, after enabling for thousands of Israeli and hundreds of thousands of Palestinian casualties, peace may be on the horizon. So now the genociders want to take credit for the possibilities of peace. History, however, is immortal and will not be so kind to the Israeli and US-American sociopaths that caused this humanitarian holocaust.
It remains to be seen whether the daily torments and concentration camp conditions that Israel forced upon the indigenous Palestinians in the first place — over many decades — and is the root cause of the rebellion and subsequent upheaval in the first place, will also subside or continue along the same path moving forward. For now, at least, we can only hope for the best!
Trump was the final straw, that's for sure. But it was the two-million valiant and resilient Palestinians in Gaza, and the millions of peace-seeking protesters worldwide who made sure, one way or another, that this genocide was going to end! And that's what really scared the warmongers and made all the difference.
