News India Live, Digital Desk: International politics is also a strange thing. From outside it seems that two countries are thirsty for each other’s blood, but when the news of what is going on behind closed doors comes out, the world is stunned. Today something similar has been revealed regarding Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former US President Donald Trump.
We all know how bad the relations between Israel and Iran are. Netanyahu often describes Iran as the world’s biggest threat, but a new report has claimed that when Donald Trump wanted to attack Iran in his first term, Netanyahu himself had forbidden him to do so.
It sounds a bit strange, doesn’t it?
Why would Netanyahu, who is considered the world’s biggest ‘anti-Iran’, stop any attack? Actually, according to the report, this incident happened when the tension in the Middle East had increased considerably. The Trump administration was thinking of taking some major military action against Iran, but was advised by the Israeli side that perhaps this was not the right time to attack.
Why would Netanyahu have done this?
Experts believe that Netanyahu knew that if the US had directly attacked Iran at that time, the consequences could have devastated the entire Middle East. Perhaps they feared that Iran’s retaliatory attack would have the greatest impact on Israel. Often what is seen in politics is not what happens. Netanyahu may have been adopting a tough stance on public platforms, but on the security front, he was probably treading lightly at that time.
Is the story the same today?
This revelation has come at a time when the world once again feels that war can break out between Israel and Iran at any time. Now that Donald Trump is in the news again, will this ‘secret tuning’ between him and Netanyahu remain the same again?
Overall, this news teaches us that in politics the relationship between ‘friend’ and ‘enemy’ is not decided only by speeches, but a lot of equations are seen behind the scenes.
