Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

"presses for"
Yeah, sure he does
I mean I think he just cares about the Optics so I don't think he cares if Israel immediately breaks the ceasefire just as long as they "agree to it"
If any president wants Israel to stop bombing kids they just need to threaten to cut them off and suddenly things will happen. All behind the scenes, even. Saying, "we are trying" actually means the opposite: they are not trying but want some excuses and fanfare and a delay before anything might change.
That's a point I hadn't considered. Thanks for the Insight.
Of course! And you're right that Trump is indeed a messy "give me all the credit" guy of course, so he will also try to take credit for things that are essentially happening "on their own". But not just theoretically, but historically, presidents have been able to just tell Israel to stop entire wars and they will do it - all behind the scenes.
