US spy agencies have warned Donald Trump that Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu is poised to torpedo his fragile peace deal with Iran to save his own political skin.
Netanyahu, who faces a general election in the fall, is expected to escalate strikes on Iran’s proxy terror group Hezbollah in Lebanon to shore up support at home, a fresh intelligence report warns.
An official familiar with the report told the Washington Post that Israel‘s leadership is frustrated with Trump’s 14-point plan and what it sees as a capitulation to Tehran.
The document states that Jerusalem fears the agreement will hobble its ability to defend itself against Hezbollah, a former official said.
The deal has frustrated many in Israeli government who want to continue its offensive against Iran’s proxies to their north – some have openly criticized Trump and his deal.
Further, sources reveal that Israel’s occupation of southern Lebanon and attacks on Hezbollah militants there and near the capital Beirut are important to voters – a key consideration of Netanyahu’s as he faces mounting political opposition.
The report stated that a suspension of hostilities or a withdrawal from Lebanon would be considered the prime minister’s defeat, a current US intel official said.
‘For every tear of an Israeli mother, a thousand Lebanese mothers must weep,’ Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israel’s minister of national security, shockingly posted on Friday. ‘All of Lebanon must burn!’

Events seem to be showing who controls whom — Trump or Netanyahu? The above report seems to show Trump is ahead, but how will he deal with Jewish Supremacists in USA and how will they deal with him? Who controls whom is arguably the biggest question in the world today, surely it is the biggest in USA and Israel. If Trump wins this battle, we can forgive all his other mistakes. ABN
