In response to The moral vacancy of American commentary on Gaza

Will Katz or Trump prevail?

Ziyad Motala deserves congratulation on his article, as a key piece of American commentary right now is from Donald Trump: “The war is over."

But, sad to say, then we have Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz just now in a tweet: “Israel’s great challenge after the phase of returning the hostages will be the destruction of all of Hamas’s terror tunnels in Gaza, directly by the IDF and through the international mechanism to be established under the leadership and supervision of the United States.

“This is the primary significance of implementing the agreed-upon principle of demilitarising Gaza and neutralising Hamas of its weapons. I have instructed the IDF to prepare for carrying out the mission.”

So who will prevail, Trump or Katz? Let’s hope it is Donald Trump.
