Liberman signals Trump didn’t consult with Israel on Syria withdrawal

He's trying to get the best info possible on the situation and the viability of leaving - since staying was the presumed game plan, he wanted them to focus heavily on an exit strategy and consequences. He also wants to put supposed allies on notice that if they think something needs to be done they can get their own asses in gear.

It's what Trump does - sends up a flare and the moths flock to it to do his bidding when they really don't want to do it...like the "trade war tariffs", just the mention of possible actions, w/o any actual up front action, gets the little critters scurrying.
