In a significant geopolitical development, a senior Israeli official has stated that Israel no longer seeks or requires approval from the United States to conduct military operations against Iran. According to a report by the Times of Israel, the official directly countered the narrative of US dominance, claiming Israel has entered a "different relationship" with the Trump administration, granting it more freedom of action. This explosive statement comes just as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is in the U.S. and has nominated President Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize.
The official explained this shift by pointing to the strong pro-Israel public sentiment in the United States, which they claim has the power to influence American leadership. Citing the influence of powerful Super PACs like AIPAC, the official asserted, “Public sentiment influences leaders,” suggesting Israel can now shape U.S. political discourse to suit its security needs. This is a stark contrast to previous administrations, with the official referencing Barack Obama's autobiography where even he admitted to having limits on his Israel policy.
"With Trump it's the opposite," the official stated. "We agree on things. You don’t need to get approval." This comment implies a deep understanding between the two administrations, where Trump allegedly trusts Israel's judgment on existential threats. These remarks fuel speculation that while the U.S. may be engaging in negotiations with Iran, it has laid the groundwork for Israel to act independently, potentially leading to a major conflict in the Middle East.

Former President Barack Obama has issued a stark warning about the direction of U.S. democracy, accusing Donald Trump and his allies of weakening democratic norms and echoing authoritarian tactics. Speaking at an event in Connecticut and in a separate interview, Obama compared the U.S. to nations like Hungary and Russia, where elections happen but leaders ignore the people’s voice. He urged judges, officials, and citizens to protect the Constitution and reject misinformation, warning that when truth is lost, dictatorship begins to take root.

The moment instantly drew parallels to Elon Musk’s controversial gesture earlier this year, which sparked similar outrage. Musk has now responded to Booker’s gesture, reigniting debate over symbolism, double standards, and political optics. Is it a misunderstood expression — or something more serious?
