It is a disastrous deal from Israel’s point of view, analysts said, because it accomplishes none of Israel’s war aims and arguably leaves the country in worse shape on each of them.

    I like how they just expect the American government to just prioritize their interests over its own. Like “this is a bad deal because it hurts Israel” then you should’ve fucking shown up when they were negotiating the deal you dingus.
