🇺🇸🇮🇱 Channel 12: Trump and Netanyahu had a secret agreement that Dahiyeh evacuation warnings were a BLUFF
Pressure on Hezbollah, no strikes intended. Netanyahu used that agreement to prepare real strikes anyway.
Trump found out, stopped it, and had 2 heated calls with Netanyahu. The 2nd triggered by Netanyahu's public statement that Beirut was still on the table.
Israeli security officials said that statement handed Hezbollah a strategic advantage.
Channel 12: Netanyahu was using the understanding to “steal a horse”
🚨Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) told me that some leaders in the region urged President Trump to strike Iran to weaken the regime and get a deal on better terms.
🚨On the other hand, he said, other leaders in the region and some of the president's top advisers urged him to take the deal that is on the table.
🚨Those voices, he said, claimed the Strait of Hormuz can't be secure from Iranian influence and that if Iran is attacked it has the ability to destroy substantial Gulf oil operations.
🚨"Count me as a strong skeptic that Iran can't be prevented from terrorizing the Strait of Hormuz and that we can't defend vital interests in the region after massive attacks against Iran - if they have been truly obliterated they shouldn't be able to do either," he said. "Time will tell. I am hoping for a good outcome still"
Lebanese President to Hezbollah's Secretary-General:
"Negotiating with Israel is not betrayal. The real betrayal is starting wars on behalf of others."
🇮🇱🇱🇧 The Israeli channel 15 just reported that the IDF now controls 5% of Lebanon's territory.
With more than a million people displaced, you have to wonder how long it will be before 20% of Lebanon is annexed.
