A recent column published by The Times newspaper, co-authored by right-wing British historian Niall Ferguson and Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant, titled, Israel Has Done Most of the Job, Now Trump Can Finish It, has ignited widespread outrage across social media platforms.

The article, originally published in one of Britain’s oldest newspapers, calls for US President Donald Trump to escalate military action against Iran in the wake of Israel’s recent operations.

The decision to platform Gallant, who is currently wanted by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza, has drawn sharp criticism.
