  • I don’t think anyone can really know that.

    Sinwar’s hiding in a tunnel somewhere and is much more likely to be killed imminently. It’s Haniyeh that’s meeting with Iran, Turkey, and Qatar. Those two don’t like each other and Qatar has a better relationship with Haniyeh.

    Who knows how he’s using that leverage? Who knows how Qatar weighs their positions? It’s not knowable for certain.

    If Haniyeh says no and Qatar passes it on as a no, what could Sinwar do about it right now? Not a whole lot.




  • IANAL, but…
    This is just a civil trial but it’s pretty high stakes. Engoran already found him guilty of fraud and revoked his business license in NY (which was stayed for now). If he rules that Trump must pay $300M, Trump will have to put up a $360M bond to appeal it or else they’ll pretty quickly start coming after his assets. And there’s no way he’ll get protected by bankruptcy for willful fraud either.

    I actually can’t remember the potential penalty for the hush money case though. Maybe they figure he’s already fucked to the max here so it couldn’t get much worse?
