Who Really Controls Escalation in the Middle East?

🇺🇸🇮🇱 Can the United States really influence Israel? — Undoubtedly.

The recent public conflict between Trump and Netanyahu showed: Israel is fully dependent on Washington.

When Trump firmly indicated that attacks on Lebanon were unacceptable — the actions were temporarily suspended.

Israel understands: without American support and air defence systems, its 'Iron Dome' would not withstand a serious attack from Iran. The country lacks a strong rear for a prolonged war. It is surrounded by the Muslim world, and in case of isolation risks being left alone against its enemies.
