‘Trump put the seeds and Israel took advantage of the opportunity’

Gideon Levy, a columnist with the Israeli daily Haaretz, says the “unbelievable declaration of President Trump threatening the Palestinians” with “hell” is making the situation “very dangerous”. Speaking to Al Jazeera, Levy said Israel immediately used Trump’s remarks for its own objectives in Gaza. “This is very explosive,” he said, warning that the consequences this time could be “even more horrible than in the first 15 months” of the war.
