Donald Trump’s sharing of alleged classified intelligence to Russian officials in the White House has come under scrutiny amid a large-scale attack by the Hamas Islamist military group against Israel.
In May 2017, the former president defended his actions after he was found to have discussed sensitive details about an alleged Islamic State (ISIS) plot with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Ambassador Sergey Kislyak in the Oval Office. Trump said he had an absolute right to do so. The intel was said to have been provided to the U.S. from Israel.
It was suggested at the time that the former president’s handing over sensitive information from Israel could have damaged the relationship between the two countries. It also could have raised the possibility that the details could be passed from Russia to Iran, the Gulf nation that is a fierce adversary of Israel and has long supported Hamas.
On Saturday, Hamas, designated a terrorist group by the U.S. and the European Union, launched a large-scale attack against Israel, resulting in the deadliest day of violence in the Israel-Palestine conflict for decades. More than 700 people have been killed in Israel, and a further 400 in Gaza, since the incursion by Hamas, according to the Associated Press.
I’m not trying to incite violence, suggest death by firing squad, or violate any community rules, but maybe he should be held accountable.
If this is confirmed, I don’t think the Secret Service would be able to protect him from Mossad.
Tbh, given their reputation in recent years, I wouldn’t trust the secret service to protect anyone from a serious, skilled, well-organized and -equipped, state-backed covert force. And the state we’re talking about here is considered to have arguably the most effective and ruthless covert foreign intelligence/action service in the world.
Given the last few days, I think we also shouldn’t overestimate the capabilities of Israeli intelligence services.
Let me put this another way: the covert retaliation operation that I’m SURE Mossad is planning this very second is going to make the retribution they did for the 1972 Munich massacre look like a polite conversation.
I understand the thought, but the idea of another country assassinating a former US president on American soil is pretty far fetched. That would almost certainly put that country in a fighting war with the US, regardless of who’s in office.
They probably won’t do anything on US soil, but if he decides to flee prosecution in the US, he’s fair game.
Didn’t stop ksa from killing Kashoggi on Turkish soil and their relationship is complicated.
Lol you’re suggesting mossad would assassinate trump? That’ll be the day.
