The Israeli government was not shown the memorandum of understanding drafted to end the war with Iran, an Israeli government official told NBC News on Wednesday, the latest sign of growing tension between the United States and Israel.

Shortly after Donald Trump said he had given a copy of the MOU to Israel, the same source said Israel still hadn’t seen the draft. The source wouldn’t comment on whether or not Israeli diplomats had asked for the text and were denied it.

The Israeli government’s absence in the negotiations leading up to the MOU has become a perilous hindrance for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who faces career-defining elections before the end of October. The deal framework was provided to NBC News by a senior U.S. official later on Wednesday.

    Actually, that changes everything. If her husband advised her to attack Iran, she’d do so.

    She was a terrible candidate, regardless. If Democrats want to win elections, they have to have open and fair primaries, something that hasn’t happened since secretary Clinton’s primary.

      No that’s not how this works, Harris is not Trump. Harris would have a competent administration, and ALL the traditionally qualified general advisors would warn her about exactly what happened.
      I’m not kidding you, I checked out of curiosity, and I’ve seen Youtubers warn about the exact scenario that occurred more than 3 years ago!!
      When Trump claims nobody could have known, it’s decidedly laughable, because for everybody qualified with even superficial interest on the subject, it was common knowledge that Iran would close the Hormuz strait, and Iran is more difficult to win against than Iraq and Afghanistan combined. So a hurried half assed effort never stood a chance, and that was what Trump was sold on!!

      She was a terrible candidate, regardless.

      Maybe but Trump was obviously way way worse. without comparison, because Trump is an obvious malignant narcissist, and that will always end worse than when he started. There is simply no way such a person can lead a country to progress.
      And now he has destroyed the American empire with certainty, it is only downhill from here for USA because of Trump, and because of the fact that the American population elected him.
