How little does Israel trust the Biden-Harris administration? So little that it only provided information about its Beirut strike that took out the Hezbollah terror while it was underway.
The US had no advance warning of Israel’s strike on Hezbollah’s central headquarters in Dahiyeh, Beirut on Friday, the Pentagon said, and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin learned of the operation while it was underway during a phone call from Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.
While “it was underway” is bad. Not even beforehand.
Israel was so concerned about either Hezbollah being tipped off or some sort of last-minute interference that it provided the information only once the attack was already underway.
The same thing happened with ‘Pagergeddon’. Defense Minister Galant called Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin minutes before the pagers began exploding and provided no details.
All of this is bad. It means that Israel doesn’t trust this administration and it means that a crucial defense relationship has decayed to the point where we don’t have timely intelligence about what’s going on.
This situation is even worse than it was under the Obama-Biden administration and the fact that the Biden-Harris administration has moved people into key defense positions who are either compromised or enemy operatives at the National Security Council and the Pentagon likely isn’t helping.
Every White House response to an Israeli action is to call for a ceasefire while the average response to an Islamic terrorist attack is to ignore it.
The Biden-Harris administration has made it publicly clear that it’s not sharing intelligence with Israel. It can’t be too surprised when Israel doesn’t share it right back.
Algorithmic Analyst says
The administration probably has a system for instantly warning Hezbollah if an attack is coming.

Right! Something similar to the old “RED PHONE” direct line to Moscow, except perhaps a crescent shaped phone, complete with horns and a tail.

dementia quid-pro-joe TaliBriben told Putin do not attack USA – but if you must here is a list of places to attack.
That was 2021 – and it devolved from there.
The Biden regime has proven to Israel not to trust them!

Yes, his name is Barack.

Don’t they have IRI operatives in both Defence and State departments? They must have direct lines to their bosses in Iran.
Marco Ulloa says
Daniel, thank you for your on-point reporting and truth-telling

This US administration is a joke. Just look at the number of criminals that freely came in, the consequences will be unthinkable unless Trump wins and quickly start the promised mass deportations. Israel is doing the right thing, as always.
Ed DeFonzo says
You say the situation is worse ????? for who ?

Problem is that even if Trump gets back in, that there will be all kinds of Democrat plants throughout the military and bureaucracy that leaks will still be an issue.
But at least they might be found out and fired or arrested under GOP leadership. But under the DNC it would be worth a medal.
Alan Kachalsky says
Or, the leftist nuts planted throughout the military and bureaucracy, if they can’t be fired, can be re-assigned to Alaska or a new facility in the Mojave dessert.

I don’t blame Israel a bit, and I bet they’re not the only country that would not communicate sensitive information to the corrupt and unstable US government today.
Ralph P says
The Israelis know not to trust this sad misadministration. I hope America wises up to the fact that they can’t be trusted to look out for freedom. That millions are ready to vote and help that fool Kamala get elected is beyond logic.

“Biden-Harris administration has made it publicly clear that it’s not sharing intelligence with Israel.” How is it that this can be the USA position with our greatest ally in the area? Our current government is a total failure.
Raymond in DC says
Biden/Harris (and before them, Obama/Biden) adapted a feckless “Don’t blame us, blame Israel” posture when dealing with the Israel’s enemies. They want deniability.
