I could believe it. Israel could have planned for the optics of Netanyahu speaking to Congress and then following that up with this assassination, never telling the US what it was planning. I still think the US was involved, but I'm like 80/20 on that.

The interviewer didn’t even ask Blinken if the US was involved, but for some reason he felt the need to disavow any involvement 🤷‍♂️

And it was oddly quick, yes? As if US government is spooked by this
