At an event in North Carolina, Trump addressed the rising tensions in the Middle East and suggested the IDF should attempt to cripple Iran's nuclear program.
It wouldn’t hurt to bring this up the next time someone tells you Trump is an anti-war candidate.
I doubt he is hopped on Russian propaganda. It comes from the fact that the Middle East was much more stable under Trump (who’s government did try to deescalate tension) versus Biden who called himself a Zionist and supplied weapons used to carry out a genocide.
Any “but… but” won’t ever make the above statement true regardless if Trump becoming president is the worse outcome for Palestine.
Trump’s attempt at making other Muslim countries make peace with Israel without properly addressing the Palestinian question is something Hamas cited as part of their ‘casus belli’, the reason they attacked Israel. They feared that if their supposed “allies” made peace, the Palestinian cause would be lost.
Trump didn’t really deescalate tensions, rather he provoked some (e.g. the embassy move) and he tried to ignore other rising tensions because addressing those would be too difficult. One can easily argue his actions were the indirect cause of the current mess.
