28. My local news just covered a few minutes of Israel's parliament

It was utterly bizarre. They did standing ovations and praised whitkoff, then kushner, then Mike huckabee.

The entire event seemed to imply that drumpf and his team did all the work here. There was a clip of drumpf on a screen in Israel saying “partners in peace”

And of course they had video of drumpf saying he had ended another war.

Knowing how slimy these people are I would be curious to know exactly how much of this process the USA was actually responsible for, vs Israel kissing drumpf’s ass just to make him happy.

I mean how much work did Israel and Hamas do on their own to make to make this happen? What about Qatar? They seemed to be a major player? And as the world heaps praise on drumpf, how much did he actually do? Was he actually in any meeting? Did he actually negotiate terms? Or was it all his team?

It is just utterly bizarre to me that we don’t even know the facts of how this deal happened or how much influence the USA had in making it, but drumpf is being given all the credit.
