Exclusive: The USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier strike group will leave the eastern Mediterranean Sea in the "coming days," two U.S. officials tell ABC News.

The USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier strike group will leave the eastern Mediterranean Sea, where it was sent just after the start of the Israel-Hamas war in October, in the “coming days,” two U.S. officials tell ABC News.

A senior U.S. official and a U.S. official told ABC News that in the “coming days,” the carrier and other surface ships that make up the strike group will return to the carrier’s home port of Norfolk, Virginia, as originally scheduled so it could prepare for future deployments.

    There was a rumor that Genocide Joe gave Netanyahu until the end of the year to wrap it up before election season because he started to tank too hard in the voting. Looks like there’s turning out to be some truth to it. The IDF now stated they are retreating many troops from Gaza under the guise of “training”.

    Netanyahu intensified his bombing the last few weeks to make sure Gaza was destroyed as much as possible before retreating.

    At this point the US is probably hoping that israel can just walk back and pretend like it’s “all good” after just killing 9000 children, but I’m not sure the Iranians were very happy with israel just assassinating their general in Syria. Netanyahu picking as many fights as possible to stay in power might just create israels downfall.
