By Benjamin Netanyahu, prime minister of Israel
COULD peace in the Middle East have been achieved without Trump being in charge? No, because I was willing to prolong war until he was.
Does the deal achieved greatly resemble the peace deal negotiated under president Biden? Why yes it does, in almost every respect but one: Biden. I was less fond of him. Even when slipping in and out of consciousness he was harder to con.
So I decided to wait. What’s the cost of a few more months, when not measured in money or lives? Nothing. And it enabled me to tick off a few more items on my to-do list, like ‘bomb Iran’ and ‘launch missile attack on Qatar’.
Trump is a true friend to Bibi, and therefore to Israel. Biden? He merely did everything we wanted without question as a US president should, but I never felt his heart was in it.
I felt that, after Trump had been president for a little while but before the deadline for the Nobel Peace Prize, the time had come for peace. For a little while. With occasional discretionary violations.
And so here we are, at this historic moment, standing together while he tells world leaders which ones he likes and which ones he doesn’t and we all pretend that’s fine and smile.
The Holy Land is at peace and it is all thanks to Trump, so he believes and I let him. What a wonderful president he is. He should stay forever.
