Is this a joke? Netanyahu didn’t just serve in the IDF. He was a member of Sayeret Matkal, Israel’s equivalent of British SAS or the US Delta Force. Netanyahu is publically known to have taken part in two operations, Operation Inferno and the rescue of Sabena Flight 571, where he was shot. The following year, Netanyahu returned to Israel to fight in the Yom Kippur War.
It sounds like something from the onion, doesn’t it. I’m of the opinion that there are few actual “leaks”. I can’t think of any high ranking officials in the administration with the military standing to make comments like this. Nor can I imagine what benefit there is to the US. The administration makes us look so foolish.
