The Biden administration demanded Israel halt its “chatter” about its role in the blast at the Natanz nuclear site last week, stating that it is detrimental and embarrassing to the Biden administration as it engages in ongoing talks with Iran to resume the nuclear deal, Channel 12 News reported on Friday.
The message, described as “resolute,” was conveyed to Israel through “multiple channels,” the report said.
Although Israel did not issue any official statements on the blast at Natanz, several senior Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and IDF Chief of Staff Aviv Kochavi, alluded to Israel’s role in the incident. Additionally, anonymous intelligence officials were quoted in various media outlets regarding details of the incident, including The New York Times.
It is a stark departure from Israel’s policy in the past, when Israel would remain completely mum about Israel’s role in attacks against its enemies.
Defense Minister Benny Gantz called for an investigation into leaks to the press by “Western officials” or “intelligence officials,” saying that they are “damaging to our forces, our security, and the interests of the state of Israel.”

Sorry, but supporting the Biden administration on this is tantamount on supporting Iran in its quest to destroy Israel and Jews all over the world. And we are now observing what I suspected all along – that Biden is nothing more than residue left behind from the terror loving, anti-Israel Obama y”sh. He selected his cabinet members to further that agenda. These positions leave nothing to the imagination. And for this, we daven daily that our enemies be the recipients of G-d’s wrath and He should bring our Geulah.
