War Room S02E02 · February 2025 Recap: US Foreign Policy Shifts in Gaza and Ukraine, M23 Rebels Continue Advance

Overview

In February of 2025, US President Donald Trump ushered in major changes in US foreign policy. In the wake of the war in Gaza slowly coming to an end, he called for the US to take over Gaza, and relocate Palestinians to Jordan and Egypt. The US also voted against a UN resolution condemning Russia for the invasion, while Trump and Vice President JD Vance publicly reprimanded Zelenskyy, leading to a potential fallout in relations between the US and Ukraine. Israel began withdrawing from Gaza, while remaining in five positions in Southern Lebanon, despite the previous agreement to withdraw. And in the DRC, the Rwandan-backed M23 rebels marched into the city center of Bukavu, the provincial capital of the South Kivu province.
