The US has let Israel steer US foreign policy in the region since at least Trump 1 admin, but the US still holds all the power in this dynamic and could force Israel to stop anytime if they really wanted to (they don't)

John Mearsheimer argues that the Israel lobby sets US foreign policy in the Middle East, and has done so for decades, notwithstanding that the US holds all the power.

If you've not heard of Mearsheimer before he was interviewed by Tucker Carlson recently.

The three that are in jail. What are they? CIA? If I was a betting man that would be my bet. Caught either spying or sowing dissent. Trying to spur a movement for regime change.
