One source told Axios Trump’s call was intended to encourage Netanyahu to take the deal, but stressed he did not know if this is indeed what the former president told Netanyahu. The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

    The source for this could be totally making up the basic intention of the phone call after the fact, we don’t actually know what Trump said in that phone call, he hasn’t actually made a public statement demanding a cease fire or anything else, and we just can’t trust anything Trump or his affiliates say because of their very long history of lying about everything.

    Moreover, given his policy history and the people he’s chosen to associate himself with (e.g. the Republican party, social conservatives, etc.) there is absolutely no way anyone can reasonably believe a second Trump administration will do anything but encourage and try to expand Palestinian genocide.
