    I'm so confused? Why would he want to urge a ceasefire? Isn't that a Hamas talking point?

    He's the antisemitic Hamas candidate, obviously.

    He probably did the very opposite—pushing Netanyahu not to accept a ceasefire to prevent the strengthening of the Democratic coalition. Just hang on for 3 more months, and you can have whatever you want. Or, he might believe it was going to happen and wanted to take credit for it.

    I know the Logan Act is largely symbolic, but it’s still law.

    Doesn't matter - he interfered in US foreign policy.

    Maybe he wants it done before he becomes president so he doesn't pay any political price for what happens there.

    Disgusting new low if this is true. Who am I kidding?

    He may not be in office, but Donald Trump has been speaking with the powers that be about Israel’s war on Gaza—but it’s not in an effort to end the genocide.

    Instead, Trump has allegedly been talking with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to avert a cease-fire deal, fearing that doing so could help Vice President Kamala Harris win in November, according to PBS.

    The reporting is that former President Trump is on the phone with the Prime Minister of Israel, urging him not to cut a deal right now, because it’s believed that would help the Harris campaign,” said PBS’s Judy Woodruff Monday night. “So, I don’t know where—who knows whether that will come about or not, but I have to think that the Harris campaign would like for President Biden to do what presidents do, and that’s to work on that one.”

    It wasn’t immediately clear if Woodruff was referring to a new report, or an Axios story last week that cited two U.S. sources as claiming that Trump and Netanyahu had spoken on the phone about cease-fire and Gaza hostage talks. Netanyahu’s office and Trump both separately denied the report.

    Eh neither Hamas leadership nor Bibi and his cabinet want peace. Trump can say whatever he wants.

    There is nothing wrong with a little preview of his presidency.

    It's against the law, but that's something Trump and his MAGA base have never cared about.

    I can believe this. He interfered with Congressional negotiations on border security and other legislations because he believed it would help his political opponents. This seems
    In line with his strategy.

    If Trump did make the call, he would potentially be breaking the Logan Act, which prohibits unauthorized private citizens from negotiating with foreign governments on behalf of the U.S. This would be a massive crime if true, but Netanyahu's office denied that the call took place.

    So, they need proof. It's worth investigating though. But, I wouldn't doubt Trump uses burner phones for certain illegal acts. One thing the orange man has proved though. There's absolutely no line he won't cross
