Ceasefire Betrayal?

By Gldmeier @gldmeier
According to a report in the Washington Post Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has already basically agreed to a ceasefire but is only going to put it into effect in January as a gift to incoming US President Donald Trump. Netanyahu does not want to give President Biden a "win" but does want to curry favor with Trump who wants the wars to end (while telling Israel finish the wars but get it done, do what you have to do) so will wait on the arrangements until January when Trump takes office.
If this is true, it would be criminal of Netanyahu and a betrayal of the people of Israel. Our sons and daughters, husbands, fathers, sisters, brothers need to continue dying and being injured in Lebanon (and Gaza, which might not have the same arrangement), having their lives destroyed, their families torn apart, soldiers undergoing mental traumas, people's lives upended for an extra couple of months all so Netanyahu can curry favor with Trump, rather than the need for battle? If true, this would be disgraceful. There will be plenty of other wins to give Trump later.
