Israel needs to get their head our of their *** and then let's talk about how much support to give them.

 @9MK3BCFanswered…2mos2MO

Yes, with more aid and support, we should also move our embassy to Jerusalem in order to showcase our commitment towards our allies in Israel.

 @9KRLW5Fanswered…5mos5MO

Not the current administration, not until they stop invading and bombing Gaza, not until they support the settlers in the West Bank, not until they seek a solution that allows both peoples to live in peace.
At the same time, support for Hamas by countries and associations and collusion with it by UN departments and UNRWA should be countered

 @9J3KYCRfrom New Jersey answered…7mos7MO

Yes, but financial and military aid is not needed due to Israel's strong economy and army, meaning that this aid should go to Ukraine while keeping support for Israel limited to political support

 @9F2DHJNanswered…11mos11MO

No, we should not support an illegal occupation and apartheid state

 @9CJV6NFanswered…1yr1Y

No, cut all support and aid to Israel and all other Apartheid colonial regimes

U.S. And Israel "Close" To Gaza Ceasefire Agreement

President Biden met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House on Thursday, aiming to close the remaining gaps in a Gaza cease-fire deal after months of fruitless negotiations.The Biden administration believes the gap between Israel and Hamas is narrow enough to be closed if those issues can be worked out, a senior administration official said. “It’s time to move to close that agreement,” the official told reporters Wednesday. Optimism had built recently about a deal to pause the fighting in Gaza after Hamas showed flexibility on some contested language and Israeli security officials said the time is right to reach an agreement that would bring home some of the Oct. 7 hostages still held in the Palestinian enclave.The mood darkened as negotiations bogged down in debates over new demands that Israeli security officials and Arab negotiators say Netanyahu has raised late in the process.Arab negotiators say a number of issues remain in contention, including the number of live hostages to be released, control of the border between Gaza and Egypt, whether Israel will have a veto over which Palestinian prisoners can be released under the deal, and whether Israel will be able to resume fighting after the initial cease-fire.“We are close,” National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told reporters at the White House on Thursday, while the two leaders were meeting. “We just have to finish it.”Vice President Kamala Harris is expected to meet with Netanyahu separately Thursday afternoon.
