Whoever warns is not a traitor. US intelligence agencies have warned the Trump administration that Israel is likely to renege on the peace deal with Iran, in an attempt to meet political pressures facing Benjamin Netanyahu, former and current US officials have revealed exclusively to the newspaper.
The main reason that would encourage them to continue with their war aspirations, as pointed out by the American publication, would be purely for political survival, to avoid losing power in the national elections that will take place next fall and comply with the demands that the far-rightists impose on him.
According to these reports, Israel would be willing to continue its fight against , which would completely clash with the peace agreement reached by the United States and Iran, which was signed just this week. In fact, the Israeli would not only plan not to withdraw its troops from there, but would also want to redouble the fighting against Hezbollah.
In addition to this, the papers also highlight Israel’s “frustration” with the terms of Trump’s peace memorandum, which would attack Israeli objectives and would prevent them from being able to retaliate against Hezbollah in the event of being attacked, as several officials have assured the newspaper. In this sense, “any suspension of hostilities or withdrawal from Lebanon would be seen in Israel as a defeat for Netanyahu.”
A “friendship” that could be at risk
The information arises in the midst of a crisis between the US and Israeli administrations, after Trump called for an end to attacks against Lebanon, a territory that, he claimed, gives him “very sorry.” All the officials who have spoken with the American newspaper have wanted to remain anonymous for security reasons, due to “the sensitivity of the matter.”
In the event that Netanyahu, who is under an international arrest warrant, decides to ignore the requests of the American president, he would not only jeopardize the peace plan itself, but would also would put his “friendship” with Trump at riskwho has served as support at the international level and as a shield for his actions and territorial aspirations.
