U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken tried to meet privately with Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi on Wednesday, without Israel’s elected leaders present, before the meeting was blocked by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Blinken is currently on a visit to Israel to discuss hostage negotiations and the Biden administration’s goal of a Palestinian state.

The Times of Israel reported:

A previously scheduled one-on-one meeting between US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi will not take place, amid reports that the Prime Minister’s Office opposed a meeting between a foreign diplomat and the military without the presence of elected leaders.

What if a Palestinian state was created and no one showed up?

Because they want Israel.

I stand by my earlier prediction that a regional war would mark the beginning of the end for Israel.

I’ll take that bet. Israel will only be destroyed by the US.

If the Israelis see that they’re about to be over run they will go nuclear. A lot of people don’t realize that Israel isn’t populated by “turn the other cheek” Jews or “runners” that fled Europe/Russia and are New York/California/Florida pussies but by the “fighters” that terrorized the Brits and others to form Israel. Different culture and a lot tougher and resilient.

These Israelis will f$&k up anyone that tries to eradicate Israel because they know what would happen to the Jews if they “lost” a war.
