Meanwhile on the International front....

Yeah, no way in hell Trump was going to twist Netanyahu's arm to end it. At least it got done while Biden was still in office. Won't matter, Trump will still take credit, of course, but still.
Much like he whined about not getting credit for the vax.
 
I find that hard to believe. Stinky knows a thing or two about get-out-of-jail-free cards, and for Bibi, peace in Gaza ain't it.
 
I hate Donald Trump so much. I wasn't sure whether to put this here, or on the Trump thread. I think I'm going to put in both places. Because I hate Donald Trump so much.

Trump Ban on Lifesaving Humanitarian Aid Still in Place, Despite Administration Claims — ProPublica

On Friday morning, the staffers at a half dozen U.S.-funded medical facilities in Sudan who care for severely malnourished children had a choice to make: Defy President Donald Trump's order to immediately stop their operations or let up to 100 babies and toddlers die.

They chose the children.

In spite of the order, they will keep their facilities open for as long as they can, according to three people with direct knowledge of the situation. The people requested anonymity for fear that the administration might target their group for reprisals. Trump's order also meant they would stop receiving new, previously approved funds to cover salaries, IV bags and other supplies. They said it's a matter of days, not weeks, before they run out.

American-funded aid organizations around the globe, charged with providing lifesaving care for the most desperate and vulnerable populations imaginable, have for days been forced to completely halt their operations, turn away patients and lay off staff following a series of sudden stop-work demands from the Trump administration. Despite an announcement earlier this week ostensibly allowing lifesaving operations to continue, those earlier orders have not been rescinded...

Trump's rapid ashault on the international aid system is quickly becoming the most consequential and far-reaching shift in U.S. humanitarian policy since the Marshall Plan to rebuild Europe after World War II, aid groups and government officials warned.

Among the programs that remain grounded as of Friday: emergency medical care for displaced Palestinians and Yemenis fleeing war, heat and electricity for Ukrainian refugees and HIV treatment and mpox surveillance in Africa.

Fate of ceasefire-hostage deal's second phase in balance as Netanyahu heads to DC


https://www.timesofisrael.com/fate-...nd-phase-in-balance-as-netanyahu-heads-to-dc/


I'm sure everything will be fine.


"According to the news outlet, Netanyahu canceled a planned meeting at the last minute on Saturday night with Mossad chief David Barnea, Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar, hostage point man Nitzan Alon and other senior negotiators.

The officials were informed of the cancelation at the last minute by Netanyahu's military Roman Gofman, who told them that the premier had decided not to send the team to Qatar until after his upcoming meeting with Trump. However, delaying the negotiations until then would appear to violate the terms of the deal."
