Today Trump is hosting a wanted war criminal. Not surprising for a convicted felon.

Israeli PM in Washington, DC for talks

Benjamin Netanyahu is in the US, where he is set to begin talks on a second phase of the ceasefire with Hamas.

Before boarding his flight in Tel Aviv on Sunday, the Israeli prime minister said he would discuss “victory over Hamas”, countering Iran and freeing all the captives when he meets US President Donald Trump on Tuesday.

It will be Trump’s first meeting with a foreign leader since returning to the White House two weeks ago, a prioritisation Netanyahu described as “telling”. “I think it’s a testimony to the strength of the Israeli-American alliance,” he told reporters.

Netanyahu said Israel’s wartime decisions had reshaped the Middle East and that with Trump’s support, this could go even further. “I believe that working closely with President Trump, we can redraw it even further and for the better.”

Discussing the ceasefire without any Palestinians present of course.

More like discussing how to carve up the ME more like UK and France did at the end of WW1.

Whatever, the israeli's are going to face terrorism if the sun shines or doesn't shine.  You eventually decide to get tough with your opponent and so i have no sympathy for palestine right now.  If Palestine wanted peace then they would stop supporting hamas.  

Israel has always been the aggressor, Hamas is a resistance group, formed after the first intifada against the Israeli occupation, forced to extremes by assymetric warfare. (inexcusable and the ICC warrants against Hamas leaders are fully justified, yet that's what 76 years of occupation, apartheid and ethnic cleansing has led to)

Israel under the grip of right wing Neo-Zionism is nothing but a doomed, self destructive colonial project.

The US is the real culprit here, using Israel to further their own agenda in the ME. This conflict could have been solved long ago if Israel was held accountable for their actions and the Oslo accords were actually implemented, yet Netanyahu has made it his life's work to prevent a 2-state solution and has been doing everything to go against the Oslo accords since his first term as PM in 1996. Meanwhile the US has vetoed resolutions to fix the conflict more than 45 times.

Yes the Israeli's are going to face more 'terrorism' as long as they keep treating Palestinians and their other neighbors as non-humans. Still occupying Southern Lebanon, occupying parts of Syria, bombing Southern Lebanon, as well as the West Bank, daily destruction and raids in the West Bank, daily Settler attacks in the West Bank. Since the ceasefires in Lebanon and Gaza there still hasn't been one day in which Israel hasn't killed Palestinians...

Israel has 2 choices, kill everyone or make peace with their neighbors, end apartheid and occupation. Trump's idea to simply empty Gaza is not feasible. There are still another 3 million Palestinians in the West Bank and 300K in East Jerusalem as well.
