Ari Ben Menashe is a former high-level Israeli intelligence officer who was also an arms dealer very active in the Iran-Contra affair. He is a Jew born in Tehran. He emigrated to Israel when he was 14. He is now living in Canada. He does not appear to me to be a Zionist currently working for Israeli intelligence. I think they would like to get their hands on him, but he is such a slippery operator that he has managed to stay ahead of them. He has frequently spoken of Israeli intelligence operations over the last 30 years, and most of what he has said has turned out to be true. He says that he thinks Trump was pushed into the attack by Netanyahu at the last moment, misinformed into believing it could be a quick action like Venezuela, and now realizes that it was a colossal blunder and is seeking an offramp. Comparing Trump with Netanyahu, he says Bibi has put his own personal interests above that of his country, but he still thinks Trump will be loyal to his country and turn against Israel, no matter how many nasty pictures of him with 12-year-old Epstein girls they publish. Interviewer Joe Lauria sounds very skeptical.
