Analysis: "Post-Gaza Ceasefire: Israel Prepares to Focus Its War on The West Bank"

Allegedly, Israel’s richest billionaire, Miriam Adelson, secured Trump's support for Israeli annexation in the West Bank.

Failure to defeat Hamas in the Gaza Strip - & a ceasefire deal - doesn't mean the war ends, but, rather, the focus shifts to other fronts.

Salon.com · Maggie Haberman: Trump left his campaign a "mess" after sending angry texts to top GOP mega-donorThe former president lashed out at Miriam Adelson’s PAC which has raised $5.8 million for his campaign so far.

All told, he has given $227M in contributions to federal candidates & political committees since 2020, nearly all to #Republicans — a sum that puts him in the top echelon of the party’s donors, alongside far better-known megadonors like #MiriamAdelson & her husband, Sheldon, who died in 2021, & Liz & Dick #Uihlein.

Yet for all his financial #influence, #Mellon & his interests — & what exactly is motivating his largess — have remained largely a mystery.
