snip
The understanding was that Netanyahu would relate publicly to the intended arrangement when he landed in New York on Thursday and it would be possible to take the effort forward, the report said. Netanyahu was set to say that while Israel continues to battle Hezbollah, it welcomes any ceasefire initiative that would safely enable the return of northern Israeli residents to their homes. There were even draft texts of what Netanyahu would say, according to the report.
But then came the wave of political criticism of the nascent ceasefire in Israel, and everything turned upside down, the report said, leading Netanyahu to distance himself from truce proposals, issuing denials from his plane.
Channel 12 quoted a source familiar with the details as saying, Obviously the president of the United States would not lead a process like this without the agreement of Prime Minister Netanyahu. This backtracking completely shatters what remains of relations with the Biden administration.

Hopefully the shattering of relations would mean the end of arms shipments. We can hope.

(89,185 posts)Let's punish every Israeli man, woman and child for what the monster Bibi did/does. I mean, they elected him after all so let's punish them all! FGS! It's not just arms, it is air and sea support.
The people of Israel are our allies.
I sure hope that TSF never comes to power and attempts to extort and wage war on our allies with his best bud Putin. I sure hope our allies do not turn their backs on us due to the actions of one man that we duly elected. I sure as hell would hope they don't decide to punish every American citizen for the actions of a dictator. I sure as well hope we don't find ourselves alone.
But, that's just me.
Think. Again.
(21,168 posts)The people of Israel may very well be our allies, but apparently their elected leader feels otherwise.
I certainly wouldn't want or expect our allies to support violent actions made by trump that they don't agree with.

Waiting for his apologists to appear and scold me in three... two...

After that rocket killed all those Druze kids playing football, options became pretty limited. I don't see any of this turning out well for any of the participants on either a personal or national level.

(9,528 posts). . . does that mean that Hezbollah will agree? Does Lebanon control Hezbollah?

Hezbollah operates with the permission of the Lebanese government but outside of any control

(1,348 posts)They absolutely want Trump to win. If you can't see that, I don't know what to tell you. It's been obvious from the beginning. He didn't like Biden since the Obama administration. I find him to be an ungrateful bastard. I think he is a double crosser.

(20,679 posts)And expand their defense into other countries? Does Bibi have the support of his citizens to go into Lebanon and just what does that do for our standing in the area? Are we perceived to be partners in these attacks with made in America bombs landing on innocents? Even before written history, there has been unrest, wars and never ending disputes but after all this time, they cant tolerate each other and live in peace?

(20,679 posts)But I respect others opinions. Will there ever be an answer to this Middle East situation or even a compromise that would be acceptable? Do they just fight each other until the whole area turns to glass from all the bombing?
