From “war allies” to “people who need to be controlled,” it’s clear that Netanyahu has been sidelined this time—intelligence is pure guesswork, negotiations are just a gamble, and this is how close allies get treated?

Crypto news, according to a report by The New York Times, before Israel attacked Iran on February 28, it had jointly participated with Donald Trump in discussions about the situation, but the circumstances changed only a few weeks later. Two Israeli defense officials said Israel had been completely sidelined by the Trump administration and was nearly entirely excluded from the decision-making circle for the U.S.-Iran ceasefire negotiations. Unable to obtain information from its closest allies, Israelis were forced to piece together the negotiations between Washington and Tehran through contacts with leaders and diplomats in the region, as well as their own monitoring of Iran’s leadership structure. U.S. officials familiar with Trump’s thinking said he regarded Netanyahu as a wartime ally, but when negotiating with the Iranians, he did not view him as an intimate partner—someone Trump believed Netanyahu needed to be constrained when it came to resolving conflicts.
