    The US has a long history of Republican future presidents pulling shit like this. Iran hostage crisis, Vietnam peace negotiations, etc.

      Iran hostage release occurred on inauguration day. That this occurs before, doesn’t change the war on Lebanon or Iranian hostage release delay not being an election ploy.

        And do you know why it happened on inauguration day and not anytime during the Carter administration? It’s because Reagan promised a better deal for Iran if they didn’t take the one Carter offered.

          Yes. Netanyahu has already succeeded though. He won’t lose favour by doing the deal slightly early. There is also a theory that Hezbollah inflicted more pain than Israel hoped.
