Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich welcomed President-elect Donald Trump’s electoral victory Monday, saying that “the time has come” to extend full Israeli sovereignty over the occupied West Bank.

He made the comment a day after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a recorded statement that he has spoken three times with Trump since the election and that they “see eye to eye on the Iranian threat.

    I like how everybody is mad at pro Palestinian voters.

    Another reminder Joe Biden is still president and Kamala Harris is vice president

      I like how not voting against an obvious fascist is pro Palestine.

      Another reminder that fascists embolden fascists. Putin is one. Netanyahu is one. Trump is one. Vance is one. Musk is one.

      Thank you, I hope someone will tell Joe and Kamala.

      Edit: looks like I was not clear: I meant that, as they are still in power, they should use their leftover power to fix this problem as well as they can.

        Frankly if they’re doing anything with their remaining days, I hope they’re shoring up America’s defenses. I cared about Palestine enough to vote for the candidate Netanyahu didn’t want in office, but now that y’all elected him, I care more about anything that can be done to help my country before he’s in to rape it.

          Hey, don’t look at me, I live in a country where democracy is not some sort of soccer game with just 2 teams (that also sort of play on the same half). Every vote counts, didn’t stop a large majority of people voting far right, and as we all know, far right only cares about themselves.
