“Bibi files…” “Yes they detail Netanyahu’s corruption ranging from accepting very expensive gifts and…” “But the gifts were liquid gifts right so….so not the same.”
“Right and the files show a linkage between the court case and Israel’s escalating wars within the region and beyond.”
“If you are hinting that the cypher case…”
“Hey I am not talking domestic, I am talking Israel, anyway Netanyahu’s objective perhaps was to divert Israeli voting base attention away from his corruption trial to considerations of national security though I reckon his wars are compromising Israeli national security as the inhumanity associated with Israeli attacks is leading to higher levels of recruitment for Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis and world condemnation, other than from administrations in the US and some in Europe.”
“Hamm, is that anything we can relate to, perhaps?”
“Not my concern today and last but not the least Netanyahu banned the Bibi files from airing in Israel.”
“Ahhhhh.”

“Iran my friend Iran and for that to be successful Netanyahu needs the US, so I am not sure if he will launch an attack before Trump what with a weak Biden run by a team supportive of Israel whatever Israel does or wait for Trump who is mercurial and…”
“Hamm, and his daughter Ivanka, who married a Jewish guy and converted, is no longer in the picture for his second term….”
“That can change, if Ivanka does a Notification Maryam Nawaz (NMN)…”
“I heard the much retired Captain is in Raiwind having daily conversations with…”
