Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday that the Trump administration reports to him every day about the ongoing war in Iran.

In a meeting with Israel’s Cabinet ministers, Netanyahu said, “I spoke yesterday with Vice President JD Vance. He called me from his plane on his way back from Islamabad. He reported to me in detail, as this administration does every day, about the development of the negotiations. In this case, the explosion in the negotiations.”

Netanyahu went on to claim that the U.S. broke off the negotiations because Iran didn’t immediately reopen the Strait of Hormuz and wouldn’t commit to getting rid of all of its enriched uranium.

    Reported a few times as an Opinion piece, but when it comes to stories like this, I lean heavily on the rule:

    Opinion pieces MAY be removed. They aren’t automatically removed.

    The story here is a direct quote from Netanyahu which raises it above opinion or speculation.

    “I spoke yesterday with Vice President J.D. Vance. He called me from his plane on his way back from Islamabad. He reported to me in detail, as this administration does every day, about the development of the negotiations.”

    Is Netanyahu saying Israel is pulling Trump’s strings? That guy’s repeating an anti-semitic conspiracy theory!

    Just friendly reminder that Bibi’s corruption trial would’ve started this week in Israel, but was conveniently delayed because of a forever war he is perpetuating.

      there could be both russian pee tapes and epstein child rape tapes. Maybe what the left needs is its own set of compromat tapes… something with furries. Thats how things get done anymore.

    I mean, they’re fighting a war together. It would be weird as hell if they weren’t reporting to each other daily.

    Tucker Carlson is right. Very, very, insidiously, cryptofascistically, WASP-ingly, Swanson Foods fortune inheritingly, aristocracily aligned far right. In this case he’s also correct.
