    Headline is a bit misleading. From the AP:

    He said Israeli leaders needed to “step up their game” and referred to Hezbollah, the group Israel fears may launch a large-scale attack from the country’s north, as “very smart.” In an interview that aired Thursday, he added to his criticism, saying Netanyahu “was not prepared” for the deadly weekend incursion from Gaza.

    Lmao according to that article he has personal beef with Netanyahu for acknowledging Biden’s win? Anyways, I went to his truthsocial and he’s only posting extreme Zionist stuff. He even has a couple videos going in about how he’s the “only president that can protect Israel, no one else will”

      Thank you for clarifying! So basically he’s continuing to side with the secular, Ashkenazi, Israel lobby contingent as he always has, even back when he was a democrat. Blaming Netanyahu for allowing Israeli settlers to be killed, not for genociding Palestinians. Just like Netanyahu’s domestic opposition have already been doing.

      Hopefully this is an indicator that the domestic situation in Israel is too polarized to form a unity government tasked with effectively wiping out Gaza, as some are calling for.
