While Israel and the United States face crucial elections, evidence of military planning against Iran is mounting. However, Tehran could disrupt the political timetable of Trump and Netanyahu.

The vice president says he endorses only American candidates. His record says otherwise, and Israelis are entitled to notice.

The US president’s backing may influence more voters than conventional analysis assumes.

US President Donald Trump surprisingly and clearly sides with Prime Minister Netanyahu just days before the elections in Israel. What is behind this change of course, and what impact could it have on the elections?

The issue most critical to Israel’s future, Gaza, is nowhere to be found in the election campaign.

Is Donald Trump crazy, or has he understood the political world better than everyone else? He places himself above Abraham Lincoln and George Washington, presents himself as a king, pope, or Superman, and casually declares the Strait of Hormuz to be “new US territory.”

A meeting without a public decision, strategic consultations in Washington, and the question of whether diplomacy or a new military strike against Iran is imminent.

It comes amid questions about the direction of the war in Iran, with Trump continuing to pursue negotiations with the Islamic Republic after suggesting last week that he was prepared to carry out a “higher level” of strikes.

Perhaps the strategic convergence between the Mossad and the CIA will encourage the US president and his administration to act with greater resolve against Tehran.
