Trump says Netanyahu 'has no f**king judgment' after Beirut strike - report (Times of Israel)

US president says IDF shouldn’t operate anywhere in Lebanon, reportedly leaving Israeli officials ‘stunned,’ as Washington tries to sweet-talk Iran out of retaliating

Go figure. I can't.

Does his "surrender deal" tie Netanyahu's hands bigly?
Cage match in the works?



US President Donald Trump lashed out at Israel on Sunday after the IDF struck a Hezbollah target in Beirut, angering Tehran and potentially risking the deal Washington is trying to finalize with the Islamic Republic.

Reportedly accusing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of having “no fucking judgment,” the president also declared that the IDF should be prevented from carrying out any more attacks on any part of Lebanon moving forward, not just Beirut. The suggestion was said to raise concerns among Israeli officials that the prospective US-Iran deal could sharply curb Israel’s military freedom of action.

“This morning’s attack on Beirut should not have happened, particularly on a special day when we are so close to a peace deal with Iran,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

“Israel has the right to defend itself against threats, but the attack it was responding to was very small and meaningless, nobody was hurt, injured or killed and should not disrupt this important process,” Trump continued, suggesting that Israel overreacted by targeting Beirut in response to a Hezbollah attack on northern Israel.

I found this towards the end of the article ...

In a bid to avoid this (Israeli retaliation for an expected Iranian missile attack), Israeli officials communicating with Washington said Trump had offered Iran a financial incentive to stand down from its threat to attack Israel.

A bribe. How clever.

that other guy has no judgement. What words would then apply to the lapdog? "No judgement" is wholly inadequate to the task.
