In an article published by the Wall Street Journal, analyst Amit Segal wrote that US President-elect Donald Trump needs to take two steps, the most urgent of which is to end Hamas’ systematic takeover of the humanitarian aid that Israel sends to Gaza.
Without the ability to steal aid and make use of the starving population, Hamas would be at the greatest risk of collapse, within weeks, he opined.
Segal also called on Trump to allow Israel to annex (we say RECLAIM) parts of the Gaza Strip, since in Middle Eastern culture, there is nothing that hurts more than the loss of land.
The worst result for Hamas, he stressed, would be for the war to end with Israel having more land than it had when the war began.
On all of this we agree with Amit Segal. As of this writing we are 11 days away from US President-elect Donald Trump taking office and it couldn’t come sooner. Trump has threatened to raise all hell if the hostages are not released and he is a strong friend of Israel. We eagerly await positive developments from his administration for Israel on many fronts.
