Trump’s two great skills have always been bragging and bullying. He’s used them both to great effect in Israel. Bullying was what Netanyahu needed and it was probably only Trump who could do it.

So while it does stick in my throat a little, I say thank you and pay him due respect for stopping the slaughter. I have grave fears that Netanyahu will yet find excuses to start the killing again but perhaps he will be in fear of upsetting Trump and will restrain himself.

Now the priority must be to maintain the peace but then to bring Netanyahu, some members of his government and the IDF to justice. This must also apply to some members of Hamas if they are still alive.

Providing the peace lasts, soon enough Trump’s attention will wander but the rest of the world must remain steadfast. If Netanyahu travels to any country other than the USA he must be arrested and sent to the Hague to stand trial.
