A 10-year-old Palestinian boy has died in hospital more than a week after an Israeli soldier shot him in the occupied West Bank. Saddam Rajab was wounded on January 28 during a military operation in Tulkarm.

Israeli forces detained an ambulance transporting him into hospital and held his father in custody for an hour. The soldier reportedly boasted about shooting him.

    Shows the US doesn’t control Israel like everyone thought. And, Trump has demonstrated that the US has very little power over how other countries work… so, Undecided made a decision, and that was the wrong one. Oh well.

      At what point was US “control” even attempted for you to reach that conclusion.

          The US never stopped providing weapons to Israel is their point I assume. Even under Biden.

            Neither did Germany. If they cared one lick about Gaza, they wouldn’t single The United States out—they would blame everyone helping Israel. Which is why none of this is about Gaza.

            Genocide Trump? No? Why not? Hmmmm……

              The US represents ~69% of the armaments to Israel. And yes Germany make up a significant ~30%. Both could use that as leverage.

                  I’m not sure what exactly you’re asking, but if you’re suggesting that Trump is accelerating the genocide in Gaza then I absolutely agree. I also do not support Trump to be clear.
