I was wondering who is going to pay for the reconstruction of all the razed apartment buildings, schools and hospitals in Gaza? Are the US and Europe going to do that, or is Israel going to do at least this?

I am genuinely curious what the US (Americans) think about this, they provide Israel with munitions and military aid which are used to destroy civilian buildings and infrastructure in Gaza and then they will pay once again to restore them?

    It will be a political debate point for decades to come, as how to support Israel has been a point of debate for decades past.

    US politics at the foreign policy level can change dramatically every election cycle. I can’t guess what their policies might be in the next 1, 5, 10 years.

      Yes, they can but they don’t.

        They won’t in this case. Israel can do nearly anything, the US will even condemn some of them, but that won’t affect support. As Biden has said many times “if there was no Israel the US would have to invent an Israel to protect her interests in the region.”

          When it comes to foreign policy there is no real difference between D and R.

          R invaded Iraq on a lie.

          D stayed there and kept it going.
