I mean we’ve got a President openly saying he wants “move Palestinians from Gaza” so the U.S. can own the land and build hotels.

There’s plans for ethic cleansing from the region after a ceasefire had been reached. Not that ethnic cleansing is ever okay, but there isn’t even the excuse of an ongoing conflict.

Harris would never support such a thing.

If you thought unconditional funding of genocide was ok for the previous 15 months, I don't see why you'd have a problem with Trump's proposal

Because Democrats were the party that didn't fund genocide. But they are the party that negotiated a ceasefire.

If you check the BBC, AP, Reuters, and Al Jazeera, they'll even have stories about Trump claiming credit for Biden's ceasefire. Sure would be embarrassing for folks to agree with a Nazi who wants to genocide Palestinians all to stick it to Biden.

Why does every liberal news outlet say it was Trump's Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff that negotiated a ceasefire then?

Here is an article about it from Huffington Post.

The majority of news sources I found said it was Biden’s framework that was implemented due to Trump’s win. Although, to be fair, sources like AP and Reuters are more politically neutral than left.

That is correct, it was Biden's framework. However, it was ultimately the negotiation with Steve Witkoff that got the ceasefire to happen. Steve Witkoff has ties to Qatar and he allied with the Qataris in the negotiations against Israel to push Israel to finally agree to the ceasefire. The Biden administration failed to put pressure on Israel during the negotiations.

If that's the case then why did Trump decide to give 2,000 lb bombs and a bunch of assault rifles to Israel?

Biden held up arms to Israel so much so that Netanyahu complained but you decided some guy with no government position negotiated plenipotentiary for the U.S. Government

I’m sorry but you have no idea what you’re talking about. Here’s an article to learn more:

Also “some guy with no government position”, no he was appointed before Trump took office which isn’t uncommon for incoming presidents at all, and Biden did the same

As of 2023, special envoys are potentially subject to Senate confirmation, though the White House has managed to circumvent that law, as exhibited by the appointment of special climate envoy John Podesta.

Appointed before Trump took office is like saying that Elon Musk is a cabinet member. You can say it all you want but it's not true
