‘They have screwed each other pretty badly’: tensions emerge in Netanyahu-Trump alliance (www.theguardian.com)

Benjamin Netanyahu interrupted an uncharacteristically long silence over the Iran conflict this week with a video commentary insisting he had “full coordination” with Donald Trump, with whom he spoke “almost daily”.

The insistence that all was rosy in the US-Israeli relationship followed weeks of reports in the domestic press that Israel was no longer being consulted over the Iran conflict, and even less over Pakistani-brokered peace talks. Such is the scepticism over Netanyahu’s trustworthiness among the general public and independent press that the immediate reaction among observers to his video statement was speculation that the reality could be even worse than they had imagined.

“He is doing so much talking about how great the relationship is that it makes me rather concerned about how much tension there is,” said Dahlia Scheindlin, an American-Israeli political consultant and pollster. “I wouldn’t be surprised, as the war is clearly going very poorly from all perspectives related to the original goals.”

There is no honour among thieves... So why would there be any among criminally corrupt, psychopathic, genocidal, pedophiles?

    As long as dementia Don can still comprehend that Israel holds the videos of him raping kids with Epstein, he's going to be Netanyahu's little bitch.

    The end goal was establishing greater Israel.

    Yep

    BiBi was hoping that the eyes of the world would be occupied while he takes more of Palestine and Lebanon

    Israel is not, and never has been, a legitimate state
