    One of the al-jazeera posters thinks that's unlikely, and it's more likely that Israel is having a "now or never" moment since Trump entered negotiations with Iran.

    It's hard to know for sure, and either scenario is very plausible. Israel is certainly doing everything it can to force Trump's hand here. Iran will have no choice but to respond, and then the Israeli lobby will put maximum pressure on the US to strike at Iran in response.

    Al-Jazeera has repeatedly taken the opportunity to reframe the relationship between Israel and the rest of the imperial core as a domineering one. They have repeatedly undercut the resistance by painting them as the aggressors, "only making things worse" for the Palestinians. This only serves the US narrative.
