đĽ Joe Kent: Trump Must Get Stern with Israel â Or Iran Talks Collapse and American Losses will Continue Piling Up
Joe Kent (
@joekent16jan19) delivers a blunt warning on the U.S.âIran talks in Switzerland: âIf the president doesn't (get tough with Israel) quickly, the Israelis are going to do a good job of saying yes, yes to our faceâ â even as they ignore U.S. demands and do the opposite on the ground, sabotaging any chance to end the war.
Kent notes Israel has âmessed up multiple iterations of ceasefireâ and even struck Lebanon after Trump said not to - on more than one occasion.
âWeâve got to be really sternâ â including restricting military aid â âto show the Likud government⌠weâre not messing around.â
Without substantial restraint on Israel, hardliners in Iran will claim the upper hand and âshut down the straits again,â killing the MoU and dragging America back into Middle East conflict.
â(If Trump refuses to get tough with Netanyahu), the Israelis wonât take us seriously and the Iranians wonât either. And then we will be back to" where we were before the MoU.
