Guest Joy Reid argued on Friday’s MSNBC” The ReidOut” broadcast that Israel’s planned strike on Thursday was meant to divert from the Gaza War and that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is obsessed with Iran, even though she added that Netanyahu and Netanyahu are “mutual” friends.
No Israeli leader has a fixed view of Iran as much or persistently as Benjamin Netanyahu, according to Reid. Since his first time in office in 1996, Netanyahu has been sounding the alarm about Iran’s nuclear interests, saying a nuclear Iran would be fatal. In his first talk to a joint session of Congress in Washington, D. C. He claimed that time was running away. He has threatened to attack Iran if it develops nuclear weapons in the years since, a danger that Israel has, despite their often public acknowledgments. During an extraordinary year of direct attacks between the two countries, which have long been engaged in a proxy battle, Netanyahu’s obsession with Iran, which I should notice is common, comes with new resonance. Immediately, Israel carried out a limited attack, firing three air-launched nuclear weapons into Iran, targeting an air center. In its first clear military offensive against Israel, Israel had pledged to respond to Iran’s retaliatory strike on Saturday, when it fired more than 300 drones and rockets at Israel. The Persian strikes were in response to an Israeli attack on an Egyptian judicial building in Syria on April 1 that resulted in the deaths of two of Iran’s top generals. But there is another important reason for Netanyahu’s distinct concentrate on Iran. It just so happens to get the warmth and attention away from Gaza. ”
She continued,” It seemed a little likeness to me that the Israeli attack was coming. Although these attacks do n’t appear to have planned to start World War III, they did definitely draw attention away from Gaza. ”
