Big deal. He's not in the running. Bibi is just kissing ass for more money.

Or, to just stay out of legal trouble....

Pretty much the same thing. Money will let Bibi keep his war going. Lewzer will not get the 2025 Peace Prize.

Republican Congressman Buddy Carter nominated him a few weeks ago, so Bibi's effort is superfluous.

Congressman Carter also introduced a bill to rename Greenland to "Red, White and Blueland."

And so long as he keeps his war going, the legal things he may have to face are postponed?

So, stated differently ... he may not want an end to the war.

That would seem to be a fair argument.

... he may not want an end to the war.

Of course he doesn't.

NuttyYahoo and his wife are both under indictment for corruption, which is why he ran for PM again. Like Trump.

This makes no sense. Isn't the Middle East in more turmoil than ever?

I suppose their plan of bringing peace to Gaza by killing all the Palestinians would technically work.

It hasn't been in this much turmoil since Obama invaded Iraq! Or was it Clinton? Maybe Biden? Had to be a Democrat. Republicans love peace and no wars, remember? (except Iran, Yemen, etc. etc. etc.)

Remember when MAGA refused to believe Trump and, by extension, US policy would be controlled by simple flattery and gimmicks?
