Remembering a CIA Coup in Iran That Never Was - Israel and the Middle East - Tablet Magazine Mohammed Mossadegh was not a democrat or democratically elected, nor was he toppled by nefarious foreigners

Interesting. CIA and Brits did not topple a democratically elected Iranian government in 1953 and install the shah. Instead the shah appointed Mohammed Mossadegh as prime minister, and the CIA and Brits helped the shah fire him. Kermit (not the Muppet, but Teddy Roosevelt's grandson) played a role.

Trump says Hamas has ‘three or four days’ to respond to Gaza plan or ‘pay in hell’ Qatari PM says plan still needs 'clarification and discussion' as Turkish spy chief arrives in Doha to hold talks with terror group, which is facing heavy pressure to take deal

Cautious optimism on Tony Blair/Trump proposal. Opposition parties will back Netanyahu if Ben Gvir and Smotrich leave coalition. But if coalition dissolves, there will be a Knesset election earlier than 1-year. Netanyahu got everything he asked for even though it could be the end of his government.

What is Netanyahu planning with Gaza’s ‘full occupation,’ and why is the IDF chief so worried? Israel already controls 75% of the Gaza Strip. The hostages are in the other 25%. So, too, are almost all of Gaza's two million citizens

Shoshke Engelmayer רסיסי חיים. מתנה לנשיא טראמפ. ✨ אתמול נתן ראש ממשלה לנשיא טראמפ מתנה: מזוזה בצורת מטוס קרב, עשויה מרסיס טיל איראני. סמל דתי מעוצב ככלי מלחמה, מתנה שמנסה לסמל כוח, עוצמה, אולי ניצחון מוחלט, למי שמאמין....

So Netanyahu also gave Trump a mezuzah shaped as a fighter jet made from debris from an Iranian missile.
