Donald Trump

I am extremely glad that Trump has backed down on war with Iran.

Who says he has backed down? He has delayed it for the time being, yes. But "backed down"? Hardly.

Remember when there was a short ceasefire in Gaza (so that Israel could be resupplied by the US)? People were saying the same things about Trump not being a zionist shill and not taking orders from Netanyahu back then. In reality it was Israel who wanted the ceasefire, and as soon as they were stocked up they started bombing again, with full support from Trump.

War with Iran will likely start as soon as the US has freed up assets that are tied up in Ukraine.

Situation in Gaza is far different and Trump's hands are tied, because half of the Arab leadership does not support Hamas or the Palestinian people. The Sauds and UAE both support Israel, which makes it virtually impossible to support Hamas for any length of time.

Conversely no one in the Arab world wants war with Iran, making it far easier to put pressure on Israel to back down against Iran.

Ultimately foreign diplomacy is 100% political and so who is supporting who matters a lot.
