Trump's Middle East tour tells us he has forgotten about Gaza, much to Netanyahu's delight | Yossi Mekelberg
Briefly

As President Biden engages with Gulf states and addresses the Iran nuclear issue, the ongoing conflict in Gaza appears to be sidelined in US diplomacy. Israeli military actions, including an attempt on Hamas leader Mohammed Sinwar and continued airstrikes, raise questions about Israel's commitment to peace. The approval for a more aggressive military strategy aims for indefinite occupation of Gaza, disregarding humanitarian concerns. Statements from Israeli officials reveal plans for forced displacement of Gaza's population, indicating a drastic shift in military and political objectives amidst the ongoing war.
As the military plans were put into action during a key diplomatic visit by President Biden, it underscores how seriously the Israeli government is treating the cessation of hostilities.
The new Israeli approach bears little interest in the fate of hostages, focusing instead on a strategy of indefinite military occupation and forced displacement.
