    Not saying we should trust Netanyahu’s denial of this happening, but at the same time its not really reasonable to just trust an anonymous source in an ongoing conflict where public and international opinion matters a lot.

    If there is more to this story then we probably will see more people confirming this in the near future.

      So far the most benefiting entities politically are: Russia and China (US attention might be divided and be forced to divert funds to Israel), Netanyahu (Isreelis were very divided in his support, this raises up nationalism and helps him to do more).

        The Saudis potentially as well. They dont like Israel, but due to all the Iranian funding they really dont like Hamas. Getting them to kill each other and drain their coffers gives them some breathing room. Plus turmoil in the middle east = increased oil prices = more money for the Saudi Regime.

      Some Egyptian authorities have apparently denied this story, so it’s all pretty murky right now.

      But if it is true, Bibi is toast.

        Bibi has been toasted so many times he’s pretty much charred now. Just watch he’s going to use this to his advantage.
