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.
It absolutely wasn’t. Satanyahu has been scaremongering about Iran being two weeks away from a nuke for over 40 years, this isn’t any Israel wants to destroy Iran.
With Syria, Iraq, and Libya dismantled, Iran is the only capable resistance to Israel’s expansionist goals. With collaborator authoritarian leaders in Jordan and Egypt, the only thing stopping Israel from taking them over is Iran. Without Iran and their support for Hezballah, Israel would have taken Lebanon over long ago.
You’re framing it as a defensive position, where Israel is afraid for its survival, whereas the truth is they are an expansionist ethno-religous supremacist state openly plotting to ethnically cleans the region to expand their living space.
It’s an interesting idea, but that doesn’t mean what I said is untrue. Keeping Iran away from developing nukes also strengthens Israel’s position in the Middle East. Of course they also wanted to diminish Iran’s support of Hezbollah and Hamas, but that doesn’t mean that was the sole reason.
No I’m not, that’s all in your own head…
