I'm not exactly an MbS defender, but this report is preposterous twitter.com/aarondmiller2/…

Netanyahu has spent a decade trying to make the Palestinians a non-issue in Israeli politics. Yet both the current defense minister and his predecessor (Moshe Ya'alon) resigned over events in the occupied territories.

And it's official: Avigdor Lieberman is resigning as Israel's defense minister, saying the ceasefire with Hamas is a "concession to terror" that buys "short-term quiet" at the expense of long-term security.

Likud says Bibi won't name anyone to the job if Lieberman resigns. So Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who moonlights as Foreign Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, will also run the defense ministry in his spare time

If Lieberman resigns today, Bennett will demand the job. If he doesn't get it—and Netanyahu would be loath to give him the boost—he could follow Lieberman out the door, which would force Israel to early elections twitter.com/talschneider/s…

Theresa May called Trump last week to congratulate him on the midterms (nevermind that he lost the House). He "berated" her on Iran, trade and Brexit. "Her aides were shaken by his especially foul mood." washingtonpost.com/politics/five-…

If Lieberman does resign in 2 hours, it will be a brilliant act of timing, preempting Netanyahu's expected decision on elections and linking the campaign with Gaza - which is exactly what Netanyahu was trying to avoid by pushing for the ceasefire. twitter.com/haaretzcom/sta…

A bit of good news from Turkey, where a court has tossed out an absurd terrorism conviction against a former WSJ reporter, @aylushka_a. But scores of other journalists are still in jail on equally bogus charges. wsj.com/articles/turki…

"At a cost of $1.5m a meeting the short rendezvous could have set him back as much as $100,000-a-minute... the sheikh arrived for the meeting with Shah Rukh Khan at a five star hotel in Mumbai on 16 January 2016 with $400,000 in cash."

Nearly two years into his term, Trump nominates retired Gen. John Abizaid as America's ambassador to Saudi Arabia, a job that the Kushner-MbS backchannel will probably make miserable. washingtonpost.com/politics/trump…
