U.S. Warns Israel May Sabotage Trump's Iran Agreement

U.S. Warns Israel May Sabotage Trump’s Iran Agreement

“U.S. intelligence agencies have warned the Trump administration that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is likely to take steps that will undermine President Donald Trump’s effort to reach a lasting peace deal with Iran,” the Washington Post reports.

“Israel appears intent on maintaining military operations against Iran’s proxy Hezbollah in Lebanon, an aim that would flout a core element of the fledgling agreement that calls for an end to hostilities in that country, according to intelligence reports, including one circulated this week.”

Netanyahu is desperate to win re-election and stay out of jail that he'd do it.

The other two PM candidates are just as hard-lined against Iran, but it he's not re-elected, he faces trial, conviction, and jail for corruption.

Something that, despite BOTH parties being committed to, the RW lied constantly otherwise to hammer Democrats about.

Netanyahu, in his desperation to remain free of jail, is rapidly destroying that which was once unthinkable--and I see no other country likely to come to their defense and $$$$ support. Polling has been "gentle" and "quiet" in this country, but opinions DO seem to be hardening against Israel among many after their conversion of a justified defensive reaction to Hamas on October 7 turned into a years long genocide against Palestinian people. Does anyone think the American people are likely to be less conflicted now? Especially those still somehow supporting Trump?
