[this is a 2-part article, the first is very short and is about the Hamas-US deal.]

"#Hamas and the United States announced an agreement today that will lead to the freeing of #Israeli soldier Edan Alexander, a dual #American citizen, ahead of President #DonaldTrump’s trip to the region. #Israel was reportedly not involved in the discussions, but informed about the deal afterward. "

[The second, much longer part, :] “[Michigan AG] Dana Nessel continues to do damage control in the wake of her failed prosecution of student protesters at the University of Michigan…This week, in public remarks on the prosecution, she claimed without evidence that Democratic Rep. Debbie Dingell of Michigan had been the one who urged her to charge students involved in protests over Gaza.”

    I think this is also great speculation and absolutely spot on in both your “Russian roulette” point and making other about money. Maybe Bibi threatened to block Trump from wetting his beak in Gaza so he “picked up his ball and stomped home”

    Related: I do wonder why liberals are losing their shit over the Qatari jet. They’re claiming that it convinced him to sit down with Hamas. Talking with Hamas is a good thing, IMO
