CNN asked me if the Trump-Israel clash on Lebanon showed the limits of US influence on Israel, but I argued that it shows the beginning of it...

Told @ABC that Israel's bombardment of Lebanon is an existential threat to Trump's deal with Iran that would end the disastrous US-Iran war. Israel sees peace as a huge strategic defeat and is actively working to destroy its chances. abcnews.com/video/134062...
