Israel does not need or seek our approval for military or covert operations.

They don’t need our permission, but they surely wanted it.

It seems the General niw may have jumped the shark by offering “ military assistance” to Hamas

That was my first thought as well. But who knows? Maybe Israel wanted to make sure the US didn’t have some sort of parallel operation going on.

My thoughts exactly. A leaker within the US intelligence community has committed high reason to scuttle the Mossad and protect Iranian terrorists.

Three years ago, Israel came close to assassinating Soleimani near Damascus, al-Jarida quoted unnamed source as saying, but the Americans tipped off the Iranians against the background of intense disagreement between Washington and Jerusalem.

That was during the Obama administration, which, according to reports at the time, was so focused on securing the 2015 Iran nuclear accord that it chose to overlook and even obstruct efforts to clamp down on Iranian-backed terror organizations.

Obama the gift that keeps on giving...

I wonder how many lives were lost because of Obama legacy dreams

Well coming from Kuwaiti newspaper al-Jarid, I’d say the odds of it being true are somewhere between slim & none. Especially the part of obtaining U.S. approval. AS for targeting him, I guess time will answer that part of the story. 8>)

If true, this is shockingly bad security. Far more likely, someone wants clicks or wants to stir up trouble.

More like we have told them to use their best judgement and defend themselves w/o worrying about us getting all over their case.
