Palestine has oil and gas? Had to look that up.
All of this, of course, is aspirational. Right now, it’s downright impossible. Though the U.S. is reportedly pushing Israel to allow Palestinians to profit and build an independent energy system from offshore gas post-war, under Israeli occupation, Palestinians cannot drill for oil and gas. Many communities are not allowed to build out solar energy, either. Israel, on the other hand, hasn’t wasted time in claiming these dirty resources for itself. On October 29, its government approved 12 licenses for six companies to look for more gas fields offshore.

All the more reason for Netanyahu to hope Trump is elected, because the Democrats are trying to enact cleaner energy policies. Trump couldn't care less, as is shown with the land he removed from federal protections when he was in office before.

So if you want to blame the war on someone, blame it on Trump, a pawn for so many bad actors, not the US writ large.
