Trump bypasses Netanyahu’s cabinet as Tel Aviv cracks deepen.
Ongoing back-channel coordination between Washington and Tehran has been disrupted by domestic political pressures, with potential implications for broader stability across the Middle East theater. Leaked intelligence materials are said to include warning assessments delivered to the White House concerning actions attributed to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is conducting a localized military escalation aimed at undermining the pending peace treaty. Field tracking data shows that forty Lebanese citizens have been reported killed within forty-eight hours amid the ongoing escalation. Domestic political pressure on the Trump administration from lobbying groups associated with Tel Aviv has grown significantly, limiting negotiators’ flexibility.
