Time person of the year isn't an endorsement, it's an acknowledgement of how influential someone has been in the last year.
What influence did Trump have on Gaza?
Answers I will accept: None
Gaza isn't the world. And please don't think I mean anything more than the literal meaning of the words. I'm 100% on the side of the Palestinian people and against Israel and everything they've done in relation to this. Just pointing out that your comment doesn't really make sense. He could have done nothing to the US and still have been a valid choice for the above mentioned definition of time's person of the year.
While I understand that Gaza should not be a single-issue topic, the choice of headlines position this Time article very much around the Israel/Palestine topic.
He put the bare minimum of pressure on Netanyahu. The cease fire deals have been sabotaged by Israel time and again and all he did was lean on him to get him to sign and he didn't do it to further the cause of peace or stop the genocide but to inflate his own ego and get a Nobel peace prize.
He promised to put boots on the ground and turn it into an American beach resort for the rich.
That would make sense if the context were something other than Israel... So what you wrote is true, but it's just a deflection.
yes, that's what the article I linked points out
