larry johnson provides more clues on the israel game with the empire; 

Something potentially significant is happening with Trump’s foreign policy in West Asia. Let’s review the critical data points:

Michael Waltz — Trump demotes his National Security advisor, Michael Waltz, for conspiring with Bibi Netanyahu to push the President into attacking Iran. The Washington Post story from last Saturday, explaining why Waltz was ousted, was published with the cooperation of Trump’s White House. Whether this is true does not matter… it is the start of a narrative that the Trump Administration is pushing.

The Houthis Capitulate — During an Oval Office meeting with the newly minted Canadian Prime Minister, Trump made an offhand announcement that the Houthis had surrendered and promised to stop attacking US ships. This is utter nonsense. The real story is that the Sultan of Oman brokered the deal, which allowed Trump to save face by declaring victory and withdrawing US ships from the Red Sea. In fact, this was a victory for the Houthis. The icing on the cake… Trump did not inform the Israelis in advance. Trump’s uber Zionist ambassador, Mike Huckabee, confirmed this in remarks to the press:

‘We don’t need Israel’s permission to conclude an agreement with the Houthis.
If one of the 700,000 American citizens inside Israel is hurt by a Houthi attack, then we’ll respond, otherwise we have nothing to do with it.’

I do not think that Trump is engaged in some Rube Goldberg plan of deception. The insult to Netanyahu appears to be genuine. At least the Israeli press believes it. Consider the Haaretz assessment of the rift between Trump and Netanyahu:

Thus, for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump’s visit to the region is starting off on the wrong foot, even before the president has boarded Air Force One. Netanyahu finds himself in political limbo, and it’s no wonder: It’s hard to count the many scenarios that could emerge from this visit. Economic agreements? Diplomatic agreements? A visit to Tehran? Thursday night, Reuters reported that Trump wouldn’t demand Saudi normalization with Israel as a condition for a civilian nuclear deal from Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, the “antisemites,” wouldn’t have done that…..........more.......
