Visiting DC to meet with his US counterpart, Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz pushed for the US to build up a bigger regional coalition against Iran, and take more actions generally against Iran.
Gantz argued anti-Iran actions could lead to a “significant change” with improved cooperation. Defense Secretary Austin reiterated his commitment to Israeli security.
The US had other matters to raise, including the violent Israeli crackdown on the funeral of a slain al-Jazeera journalist. The indications, however, are that Gantz wanted to just talk about Iran, and that’s what happened.
To the extent anything other than Iran came up, Gantz assured the US of support on the Ukraine War. Though here too the focus was that the US needs to be regionally focused on Iran.
Mr. Gantz needs some ‘withdrawal’ (from Iran) therapy…
Also, “Benny” Gantz needs to request a name change…
It is difficult to take anyone named Benny, in his capacity, seriously…
Or “Bibi”, for that matter, Donna 😝
“According to a statement issued by an Israeli government official on condition of anonymity, Austin raised his concerns regarding the Israeli police’s conduct during the funeral of slain Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh when officers attacked mourners, causing the pallbearers to nearly drop her coffin.”
Although it wasn’t enough to stop this:
Gantz expressed his gratitude for the recent passing of a US spending bill that included a $4.2 billion aid package for Israel and Washington’s preservation of Israel’s military superiority in the region, the statement said.
NOTHING. EVER. IS.
Must be inflation, Wars; that’s up from $3.8 billion.
The raise was because of $40 billion aid to Ukraine and Gantz jealousy complain to Biden…!
Benny Gantz issued the order that led directly to shooting the helpless Shireen Abu Akleh in the face with a military tumbler bullet. What a sickening disgrace he should be allowed even to set foot on American soil.
How do you know that?
This type of murder has occurred too many times to be aberrant. Does anyone still believe MBS innocent of the murder of Khashoggi?
Israel : Jump !
America : How high sir ?
“….pushed for the US to build up a bigger regional coalition against Iran”.
After all the rhetoric of brutal and illegal invasion lobbed at Russia it will be a little hard to find justification for yet another attack.
