Trump Aides 'Betrayed' by Israel's Inconvenient Timing
According to RT, Trump's former Mideast envoy, Jason Greenblatt, expressed dismay after Israel allegedly bombed Qatar during Gaza ceasefire talks, causing 'anger' among the negotiating team. The shock! This isn't betrayal; it's a feature, not a bug, of a relationship structured on U.S. financial and diplomatic umbrellas. U.S. 'betrayal' here means 'our allies making us look bad.' One might recall
that former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has a long history of torpedoing U.S. diplomatic efforts, from his 2015 address to Congress undermining the Iran nuclear deal to his public spat with Obama. The idea of 'betrayal' only arises when perceived Israeli interests clash too overtly with American political convenience. When billions flow and unconditional vetoes are cast, expecting
coordination beyond Israel's primary strategic calculus is, frankly, naive. The 'anger' wasn't about the strike; it was about the poor optics for the U.S. negotiating team.
