“Agents of Influence”: How Netanyahu, Through Trump’s Family Circle, Dragged America into War to Save His Own Skin

The Resignation That Exposed the Mechanism of Betrayal of U.S. National Interests.

This is not just a resignation. It’s the removal of a seal behind which lay the ugly truth about how foreign policy decisions are actually made in the United States.

And this is not speculation: Netanyahu himself, in his memoir “Bibi: My Story,” described how his close adviser Ron Dermer used “golf terminology” to communicate with Trump, finding common ground with him that was beyond the reach of professional diplomats. Trump, as experts note, is “hungry for flattery,” and this weakness was masterfully exploited.

Joe Kent, in an interview with Tucker Carlson, revealed the mechanism of this influence. According to him, “key decision-makers did not have the opportunity to express their views to the president.” There was a “clear gap” between the........
