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.

Don’t threaten me with a good time. Fucking do it already. Take them all out.

Don't worry, Israel is going to bombard that treaty left and right.

Absolutely, the agreement they are planning to draft is supposed to include halting all military activities in Lebanon. Israel is never going to agree with that. On top of that Iran gets to keep their enriched uranium (although less highly enriched), which is what this whole war was about in the first place, especially for Israel.

Truly he is just on the side of whoever most recently played his ego most effectively 😅

Just give him a mental blowjob and he'll give you anything you want I guess. Until someone else plays his ego, then he'll give take it back and give it to them lol

However much shit Trump may talk about Netanyahu, I bet US weapons shipments to Israel go uninterrupted.

The MK-82s must flow.

Even Israel must learn, Trump only cares about himself. Skyrocketing gas prices are bad for him in November.

[–] phx@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

Yeah but up until now it really feels like their relationship was more about them having some sort of dirt on Trump that kept him on a short leash. Wonder why he doesn't care any that anymore

this is all for show and I bet america is back to attacking iran with their friend israel after the midterms.

[–] Buffalox@lemmy.world 59 points 14 hours ago

growing tension between the United States and Israel.

Great. Let Israel handle their shitshow alone.

[–] BananaTrifleViolin@piefed.world 10 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

So: Iran keep insiting Lebanon is part of the deal. Israel keeps insisting it is not.

The question really is will a deal be signed, or will Israel refuse to withdraw from Lebanon and yet again Trumps promises are empty nonsense. The US lost this war, but can it reign in Israel to help it exit the war?

[–] Asidonhopo@lemmy.world 5 points 9 hours ago

Netanyahu goes back on trial for corruption and probably to prison if the war ends so, uhhh

[–] northernlights@lemmy.today 13 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

What a shitshow. Is there any decade where a republican president didn't drag the US into yet another senseless war?

[–] srecko@lemmy.zip 0 points 3 hours ago

Nothing to do with political party, apart for Jimmy Carter, every single US president did that.

[–] Fuckfuckmyfuckingass@lemmy.world 19 points 13 hours ago

Imagine believing anything any of these fuckers are saying. They could tell me the sin rises in the east and sets in the west and I wouldn't believe it.

[–] tal@lemmy.today 12 points 12 hours ago

How odd. To date, Trump had exhibited such forthrightness and transparency.

Trump's facing elections three days after the end of October. They are probably going to do a lot to determine what the latter half of his term looks like.
