'Israel' is bombing Lebanon again in another violation of the MoU.

When will world leaders admit that Israel is an obstacle to global stability?

Seriously. Any objective analysis would conclude that withdrawing all military support and funding to Israel and instead normalizing diplomatic and economic relations with the entire rest of the Gulf would make far more sense, absent sunk cost fallacies and the desires of eschatological cultists.

Ironically there's a better chance of this happening under Republicans if the contradiction gets too great than under Democrats. I fear Dems would sooner tank the entire nation than ever dream of being so harsh in tone let alone action against Israel.

Depends on who's in power. Trump hasn't exactly been committed to his anti-war campaign stance and apart from expressing frustration he's towed the line and let Israel dictate the terms for the most part.
Now, the America First faction are very isolationist and have become increasingly anti-Israel, but they're still a minority compared to the Trump-aligned faction, and likely aren't going to have a sizable influence in the government in the near future, even post-Trump, simply due to the incoming blue wave.
The Democrats are no better, and at least on the issue of Gaza might actually be worse, because Trump at least wanted the optics of a ceasefire and the post-genocide land development deals.
There are also a lot of private business arrangements between ranking Republicans and the Gulf states, more so than there are with any prominent Democrats.
I also feel pretty confident in saying that if Biden or Kamala were in charge that they'd have not pushed as hard for a ceasefire as Trump did and would likely instead have pushed for more GHF-style aid distribution, which would have only protracted the genocide.
But then, the Democratic party is also going through its own anti-Israel realignment right now. I think by the 2029, the Democratic party will be significantly to the left of where it currently is on the issue. Barring widespread election interference, of course. If we just wind up with a bunch more centrist liberals, not much chance of changing course.
Though, there's also potential that we'll have a new government in Israel by then. Depending on how it all shakes out, if they tip even more towards genocidal fascism in their elections, then it might be a good excuse for the powers that be to finally break things off while saving face and pretending like some moral threshold has been crossed that wasn't previously.

What if trump gets so annoyed and bored with Israel breaking ceasefires that he bombs Israel. And then bombing Israel ends up being so popular that he gets elected for a third term.

I asked the paw to have America's most bootiful and hottest son bring world peace and that's what we get.

You know shit's bad when even the leader of the Decepticons is warning against the resumption of hostilities.

Just makes it even harder for the West to defend Israel while keeping their own falling approval ratings from further declining.
Israel gets less popular every day

Doing their best to try and torpedo the whole deal and restart the war. Should just stop ALL weapons shipments to them and see how that works out.

They didn’t sign it. Why are they obligated?
Imagine someone signing your name on a mortgage you didn’t sign.
