During the Gaza war, Israel has ramped up its settlement, construction, and dividing of the West Bank, continuing to make a two state solution very difficult when Israel hasn’t made a space for a Palestinian state to exist.

Hamas spent tons of money building a buttload of overlapping tunnels, some cheap and small, others so advanced that you could drive trucks though. They could have spent this money helping Palestinians. They then further screwed Palestinians by reminding Israel that they were a terroristic threat by attacking on Oct 7.

Israel is dividing and conquering the West Bank, illegally creating settlements across the land, applying Israeli law to these settlements, and keeping the Palestinian West Bankers in their place. Israel has a former settler terrorist (as determined by the Israelis) as the effective governor of the West Bank.

For the moment, Hamas and Israel have a cease fire. The most likely outcome is things returning to the pre-war status quo: a terrorist theocratic dictatorship in Gaza who is determined to destroy Israel and kill Israelis, and Israel waiting for the next opportunity to “mow the lawn” while continuing West Bank settlements and maintaining control over that territory.

“When Israel and Hamas agreed to a ceasefire in January 2025, on the last day of the Biden administration, President Joe Biden demanded credit. “This is the exact framework of the deal I proposed back in May. Exact,” he said. Of course, that raises the question—if the deal was on the table earlier, why didn’t Biden secure it then?
That ceasefire fell apart after only two months. Seven bloody months later, the Trump administration has finally brokered a new one. President Donald Trump, like Biden before him, wants the credit. “BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS!” he declared in his announcement of the ceasefire, waxing biblical. (Trump also, bizarrely, tried to credit his tariff policy for the truce.) But like Biden before him, Trump deserves scrutiny for the violence that dragged on when a deal was already on the table.”
