As someone who supports a two state solution and dignity for Israelis and Palestinians I am just crestfallen. 10/7 definitely needed to be addressed and addressed forcefully, but his heavy hand created new enemies. And hitching his wagon to the malignant Chauncey Gardiner in the White House in the war against Iran only to see it go sideways and have Trump point the finger at him has all the stuff of tragedy- hubris, vanity, and incompetence. He should resign.

(24,565 posts)Because he had to know how fickle Trump is and that there would never be any follow through if it was harming the economy.
Now this might be good for the US and bad for Israel, Trump might cut Israel off.

(909 posts)I feel like they have the goods on him, and they were holding it over his head. Trump has the sword of damocles hanging over him by an incredibly tiny string, and they are ready to cut it if he's no longer a pliant partner. I don't think Trump would have done anything in Iran had they not slid some pictures across the table and told him it was in his best interest to fight this war for them.

I wish the people of Israel no ill will, but rather continued support. But they will have to rid themselves of this monster and his Likudist ilk. The world is watching.

(2,428 posts)His resignation would be announced once his escape was successful and some friendly country granted him entry.

(20,734 posts)President Herzog supposedly offered him a deal: a pardon in return for resigning and agreeing to never seek office again. Netanyahu turned it down becaude he was riding high at the time. I wonder if he would turn it down now.
