It would be nice if some deal were made before Joe is out of office. This would be his Final Glory and Trashtrump would have mud on his ugly face.

Looking at the painful photo's from both sides makes you wonder what kind of a person could be leading this MADDNESS and CARNAGE??

The big US military industrial complex (Netanyahu's right arm) will not allow it. That is why Biden had to sign another package of $8 billion of American made weapons before he checks out. There is enormous money to be made in Wall Street about this conflict, not to mention the gains in the territorial disputes:

Both Biden and Trump have reportedly described Netanyahu, privately, in less than flattering terms.
Must be hard talking to someone you have describes as a liar.

Israel’s campaign in Gaza has killed more than 46,000 Palestinians, the majority women and children, according to the territory’s Health Ministry, whose count does not give a breakdown between fighters and civilians. Israel’s campaign was triggered by Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023 attack, in which militants killed some 1,200 people and abducted around 250 others.
Sorry, but this stale, anodyne account is misleading in many ways: the bloodless word "campaign" doesn't even begin to describe the horror of relentless 24/7 terror bombing for 14 straight months together with the live-streamed atrocities and war crimes perpetrated by the Israelis with malice aforethought on the civilian population of occupied Gaza, the destruction of homes, hospitals, universities, schools, libraries, buildings of historical and cultural significance, cemeteries, water and agricultural facilities, in short, every component destroyed necessary to sustain a functioning society. The deliberate homicidal targeting of women, children, babies, doctors and medical staff, aid workers, journalists, intellectuals and the egregious policy of blocking food, medicine and water entering the sealed territory has also contributed to the risible 46,000+ deaths, a number that has hardly budged since last summer while ascribing this number to Gaza's Health Ministry is grimly misleading in that it does not include the 10,000+ buried under the rubble and the tens of thousands of missing and uncounted for. There are 10,000 abducted Gazan males in prison camps suffering torture and intolerable conditions (a taboo topic in western media), all of which suggests that the figure of 150,000+ estimated by reliable outside sources is closer to the truth. Finally, the stale, debunked Israeli account of October 7 omits to mention the number of Israeli citizens killed by the IDF. So now we learn that the two men most responsible for this plausible genocide (ICJ, Amnesty International), the arms supplier and self-confessed zionist, Biden, with a week left in office is talking to Netanyahu the man most wanted as a war criminal by the ICC. Too little to late. Biden's legacy is now sealed in blood.
