Biden had 400 days to take those actions- coincidentally, he took them at the moment he has basically no power any more?
Which is not to say I trust Trump. Afaik he's a fanatic Israel supporter. We'll have to wait and see what happens to pass any judgement on this.
You had 9 months to produce a baby, but you waited until the final day to deliver it? What a terribly mismanaged project.
Quite a sad analogy, since the outcome of Biden's inaction- no, active support, since he flooded Israel with money and weapons and ensured diplomatic cover at the UN- resulted in the killing of at least ten thousand children.
A different spin:
Even after losing an election, the Biden admin worked until the last minute instead of inciting a riot and rage-quitting a war (https://www.militarytimes.com/news/pentagon-congress/2022/10...).
At this point any order given or decision made by Biden can be undone within five days. Do you really think that the government that has ignored all the "red lines" that the US have threatened for more than a year, while keeping receiving enormous amounts of money and weapons, would be interested in listening to them now? I'm not denying that officials from the Biden administration have cooperated with this; but with the authority ultimately coming from Trump, not Biden.
With which I am not saying at all that Trump did better- we have no clue of what his plans are, beyond obtaining some apparent win, and what he gave to Israel in return.
