This analysis from foreign policy expert Elise Labott argues that the recent collapse of the Gaza ceasefire and renewed Middle East violence are directly tied to President Trump’s decisions and policies
>Colin Powell’s famous [**“Pottery Barn rule“** ](https://www.thenation.com/article/archive/iraq-revisiting-pottery-barn-rule/)has never been more applicable: You break it, you own it it. By both brokering the ceasefire and giving Netanyahu the green light to shatter it, Trump has placed his signature on the fragments. The Middle East that Biden handed over to Trump was certainly broken—but Trump claimed to have fixed it, only to let it crash to the floor again. Now he’s left holding all the pieces with no apparent plan to reassemble them.
„The Middle East that Biden handed over to Trump was certainly broken—but Trump claimed to have fixed it, only to let it crash to the floor again. Now he’s left holding all the pieces with no apparent plan to reassemble them.“
So, Pottery Barn Rule is „somebody else broke it, I tried in good faith to fix it, but now I owe for damages…“?
No, this is a HAMAS issue. If Hamas stopped fighting and attacking Israel the conflict would end. Period.
This isn’t a Trump issue, it’s an HAMAS issue.
Deflecting the blame doesn’t decrease the violence, it extends it.
People really underestimate how much Biden tried to rein in and restrict Israel. If Kamala had won, things would have been way worse for Israel. But with Trump back in office, Israel is in a much stronger position. In fact, this Trump administration seems even more pro-Israel than before. Israel is definitely going to make the most of these four years with Trump.
