Has Israel ghosted us in this war?

If press reports are close to reality (which isn't a certainty) Israel is still very busy with it's "greater Israel" land grabs and associated genocide, but I'm not seeing them doing much of anything WRT the Iran war. Not sure they're even involved in the current negotiations. So are they still in this thing? Or is it just us now?

Or am I missing things?

it then shifted to its main goal of taking Gaza, the West Bank, and southern Lebanon.

Israel should be a part of the Kabuki Theater peace negotiations with Iran, I have seen no reporting that it is involved.

Israel will just up its AIPAC money to give to members of Congress.

It was to take two days of intense and unrelenting bombing. The Iranian theocracy, the civil government, the entire military would with in two days be decimated and totally collapse.

Israel would then become the regional power broker with uncontested military might with the goal to increase Israel's hegemony over the entire Middle East region.

This fevered dream of both Netanyahu and Jared failed miserably to meet the 2 day results they had promised. The war effort to total!y decimate and destroy Iran was an unmitigating failure and an embarrassing flop.

Consequently the masterminds and engineers of this warmongering fiasco, Netanyahu and Jared Kushner, have divorced themselves from this failed war effort and promised regime change that never transpired as they promised. So these two have quietly blended back into the woodwork, hoping to become wall flowers. While the American taxpayers are then left holding their bag of shit and are expected to clean up their fucking mess.

The mind set in motion here by Bibi & Jared,.. If you hair brained and wacko ideas fail to produce your promised results, just stand back while pointing the finger of blame towards someone else, while you run for the hills to disappear and save face. Not my idea, I had no part in planning this atrocity that was such a horrible and costly flob.

I expect the occupied territories to be effectively annexed by the end of Trump's term.

The "adandon Harris" movement was one of the greatest own goals in history.
