What influence did Trump have on Gaza?

Answers I will accept: None

He put the bare minimum of pressure on Netanyahu. The cease fire deals have been sabotaged by Israel time and again and all he did was lean on him to get him to sign and he didn't do it to further the cause of peace or stop the genocide but to inflate his own ego and get a Nobel peace prize.

Gaza isn't the world. And please don't think I mean anything more than the literal meaning of the words. I'm 100% on the side of the Palestinian people and against Israel and everything they've done in relation to this. Just pointing out that your comment doesn't really make sense. He could have done nothing to the US and still have been a valid choice for the above mentioned definition of time's person of the year.

“Time magazine supported genocide in 1938 making Aldolf Hitler, ‘Man of the Year’… Time magazine supporting genocide in 2024 by labelling those opposed to the genocide of Palestinians ‘Antisemitic’.”

Only one of those statements is "misleading"

Revoking US visas for stuff like this is not the burn they think it is.

They want to be able to make interviews with Trump, which requires an insane amount of glazing...

Gotta love the placement of the head lettering.

Looks like he didn't do his own makeup this time. You can almost not see the makeup line.
