An Israeli official says a top Cabinet minister's trip to Washington has angered Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. It comes as talks aimed at brokering a Gaza cease-fire are underway in Egypt.

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — A top Israeli Cabinet minister headed to Washington on Sunday for talks with U.S. officials, sparking a rebuke from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, according to an Israeli official, in a sign of widening cracks in Israel’s wartime government nearly five months into its war with Hamas.

    Luckily Israeli voters don’t seem to be falling for it.

    Well to be fair, it took about twenty fucking years or more of Israeli voters falling for it for it to become completely clear to them that Netanyahu is a criminal who is full of shit. He’s the Israeli version of Trump moreso than Bush.

      not quite.
      last elections 70% of eligible voters voted.
      likud has gotten around 24% of their votes.
      this was about the same even in the election before that.
