Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu will likely try to undermine Donald Trump’s deal with Iran, U.S. intelligence officials have reportedly warned the administration.

Current and former U.S. officials told The Washington Post Netanyahu is intent on continuing operations in Lebanon despite an agreement signed by President Trump earlier this week.

The Israeli leader is facing intense political pressure to continue the conflict, that has run in parallel to the joint attacks on Iran he launched alongside the United States in February.

But continued strikes in Lebanon - the latest of which left 16 dead on Saturday - risk deepening the growing and increasingly public cracks in Netanyahu’s relationship with the Trump administration.

1. Past behavior indicates future behavior.

No inside sources or intelligence reports needed for this one.

4. And just what does Trump Regime think they can do to control Netanyahu?

Trump holds zero cards and the whole world knows it. Dumbest man ever.

10. Trump isn't cardless, he can threaten to withhold economic/military aid.

I'm not saying he'd likely do it, but that leverage is there.

2. Heck I'm pretty sure Israeli intelligence is far more advanced.................

they profiled shithole. This was the idiot they wanted.

3. As long as Netanyahu and Jared Kushner are on the same page, the killings will continue

I'll put Kushner in as the token for the folks who want to obliterate any remnants of the Palestinians and other groups that have occupied the western Mediterranean for many centuries.

5. Since AIPAC more or less forces the U.S. government to fund Israeli armed forces

we’re going to be funding the breaking of our own agreement - Trumpism at its finest.

6. As posted on another thread.

When this regime is done. And it will be done. We need to take a long, hard look at our relationship with Israel. Either they shape up or we're done with them. AIPAC be damned. With this shit hanging around their necks, I don't think their influence is what it use to be. Time to break them.

8. This is what I've said almost daily now: Netanyahu will not allow this war to end

He doesn’t want that. He wants to EXPAND it, not end it.

Trump got into bed with him against Iran. So, how we’re screwed.

This is what happens when we vote idiots into the Presidency. Never underestimate the stupidity of the American voter.

9. Both Trump and Bibi have dug deep holes for themselves they can't back out of.

Iran won't stop the war if Bibi carries on.

What is needed?

Regime change in Israel first, then America.

11. I know this is picky but...

Shouldn't the title read "try to" and not "try and"?

12. This is why previous presidents didn't let Netanyahu push them into war with Iran.
