[Sephiroth]

It's a very interesting situation on several fronts.

First, there's Trump the person. Certainly on past history, there is something of a pig in his nature and many would say that this is a sticky attribute.

Second, he very brazenly heads a powerful country and uses that persona to get his way (bully others say) into submission. See his tariff policies for detail where he is aware of the double edge to that weapon, but it frightens other xcountries and he likes that. Vaseline and bend come to mind.

Third, he loves himself (this is different from being a pig). But he knows that he is a pig and wants to prove that there is a better side to him. Hence is (sometimes misconceived) monologues full of self-praise.

In the above light, he has used his attributes to bring Israel to some sort of heel, no doubt threatening them with a weapons embargo. 9/11 won't be too far from his mind in that context and so Israel zapping Hamas pleases him. He is also pig enough to brush aside (pretending not to) the civilian suffering in Gaza in pursuit of his real estate ambitions for Gaza. If he can see that through, in the long run, Gaza might do very well.

A peace prize is almost inevitable!
