World News

Just about every one of these bullshit "Biden/Trump is angry at Netanhahoo" stories is started by the Isntreali writers at Axios. This is pure Mossad propaganda written by Mossad connected operatives. If they were from any other country, they would have to register as foreign agents.

The day after this, Israel started bombing Beirut. No sign of ceasefires as Trump claimed right after this call. So 2 possibilities:

a) The story is real but Israel doesn't care/can't afford to care about what the US feels about them. They know they'll be supported no matter what. As long as the funds, weapons and ammo keep coming, then the US can be mad at them as much as they want.

b) The story is propaganda. Its aim is to most likely make Trump appear strong, sell the idea to the US public that the US is not responsible for what Israel is doing (important for the upcoming elections), perhaps lull Iran and Hezbollah (particularly Iran after it issued counter-threats to Israel). Its primary goal though might have been internal Israeli politics. Netanyahu was made to appear weak, while figures like Ben Gvir were made to appear strong and decisive by responding to the story. It's been said for a while that the Israeli coalition government is rocked by internal conflicts and power struggles, so this is not unreasonable. Furthermore, if Netanyahu or other figures had qualms about continuing the invasion of Lebanon, then the outcry in response to this story has basically made it impossible to back down without looking extremely subservient to Trump.

I lean more towards the propaganda conclusion, particularly since the "reporter" who broke this story was Barak Ravid of Axios. An Israeli veteran of military psy-ops and cyber warfare, who has a long history of crafting propaganda pieces that serve the interests of Israel and the US, working for a publication with also a long history of pushing narratives in favour of US policies. Most recently, Barak Ravid has been responsible for most of the news you might have heard of the type: Iran has agreed to give up its nuclear material, Iran has agreed to open the straits, Iran's leadership is about to quit, The army is taking over Iran, Hezbollah has agreed to a ceasefire, etc etc.

Furthermore, this has happened during the Biden administration too, where Biden reportedly got into a row with Netanyahu on the phone, then a week after that the US sent Israel extra funds and all its wishlisted bombs.

My first instinct is to laugh at the idea of them infighting like this (in a cathartic way).

My second instinct is to wonder if this is a manufactured "report" (or conversation) in some way, meant to give the perception of the US distancing itself from israel's actions even though its leadership materially supports them.

But perhaps it really is as simple as infighting among settlers.
