Bruh, he could slip while taking the stairs and there will be a ceasefire. If he intentionally waved his hand he could end the occupation.

Maybe you’re betting that this is beyond the president (as it has always been in the US), and that may be true. But if you think that the occupation government can stand by itself without US intervention and aid for every second, then no, that is just not true.

So to be clear the choice is we tell our ally that they either change their domestic policy or we severe all economic and diplomatic relations?

That’s how you think things work?

Nope, I thought @Rapidcreek meant that even if the US stops supporting the occupation it would survive, but it turns out he actually meant Biden, as in only Biden being against the occupation.

Congress writes legislation not the President. Nice try, if several others didn’t try the same argument before you.

Yes, I already mentioned that:

Still, the president pushing against the occupation would be far from futile.

If I was an IDF General and you told me to ceasefire. I’d first ask you for what. After you told me nothing, I’d tell you to piss off. They have conditioned the battlefield, split Gaza in two and engaging Hamas directly and you want them to withdraw 100k troops and give Hamas time to regroup.
