Protesters at US embassy in Tel Aviv appeal directly to Trump for deal
Demonstrators carry a banner during a protest to demand the immediate release of captives held in Gaza in Tel Aviv, Israel, July 19
The huge crowds in Israel who are calling for a comprehensive deal that would end the war and bring back all 50 living and dead captives held in Gaza have used Donald Trump’s language to appeal to him.
“We know the outlines of a deal exist. What’s missing is the final push – the kind of resolve only President Trump can bring. We ask President Trump: lean in. Use your power. Show the world that freedom matters,” said Ruby Chen, father of Itay Chen, whose remains are held in Gaza.
Protesters displayed banners urging Trump to strike another “big, beautiful deal”. Nadav Rudaeff, whose father Lior Rudaeff’s remains are held in Gaza, directly thanked Trump and said his efforts are not taken for granted.
“Please do everything you can to pressure all the parties to reach an agreement,” he said.
All he has to do is stop supporting Israel, but unlikely that will happen.
