With trump winning the presidency along with large swing towards Republicans for congress, we should expect ironclad support for Israel for the next 4 years. A ceasefire is looking increasingly unlikely.
A meaningful ceasefire is only ever possible if there is a split between the EU and US.
There's been zero indications of a fracture during Bidens term, we'll see if Trump is as capable in stringing along von der Leyden and her ilk.

I feel like at least Biden was interested in limiting the scale of the war and risk of escalation. Similarly EU is largely apprehensive and wary about a expanding war in the ME. With a rift between the US and EU looming due to the trump presidency, US might just go in along and provide full bore support on Israel, no matter the blowback.

He's given Israel immense economic, military and diplomatic support to carry out its war of aggression against Palestine.
Pretending Biden is anything but an enabler is insane - it's the exact opposite of reality.

I already mentioned this a few pages back. Both options are no-win for Palestine. But one at least pretends he cares about the civilians. Trump has no such pretense and is happy for a big war in the ME so he can force EU into favorable trade concessions.

I think you undersell the situation. IMO Iran should go and buy the equivalent of life-insurance. That's all I have to say about Trump and Iran

As for Palestinians, they were goners before, they are even more goners with Trump in charge

Trump might not care about how Israel conducts itself in Gaza. But he won't give them weapons for free like Biden does. He might help defend Israel from retaliatory attacks, but he's unlikely to actually launch a war against Iran. He didn't want to last time and he has said again and again that he wants peace. And without American participation in an Israeli attack on Iran, the Israelis just can't damage very much. The past two Israeli attacks on Iran have shown that.

The Jewish fascists will have the freedom to intensify their genocide and we'll probably see more starvation and direct killings, but they'll have to wrap up the operation soon. Trump doesn't want to preside over a never ending war in Gaza

Iran is done, the population of Iran itself is giving up on the islamic replublic and becoming pro-US. With extreme pressure from Trump and Israel, I expect Islamic republic to collapse soon and replaced by a pro-US regime.
Famous last words, lol

How long has the US been waiting for Cuba or North Korea to collapse?. Now North Korea can nuke Washington DC, so good luck with that.
