BREAKING: US Intelligence Offer to Israel Sparks Debate Over Strategy in Rafah

The offer is to give Israel specific actionable intelligence on the whereabouts of the Yahya Sinwar, head of Hamas. And on tunnels and on where the hostages are. If they kill Sinwar and save the hostages, it's all over. 

If this is true I find it extraordinary. Revolting, in fact. That the U.S. would withhold such critical info from its major ally in the region. For what reason one can't fathom. Unless it be a simple as pique at Netanyahu. ie a Biden hissy fit? Surely not. But maybe so…. 

If you think about it, it's pretty much literally — and I mean "literally" literally — breathtaking. Surely this is malpractice. 

I mean, boggles the brain. What's Biden and Blinken and Sullivan and Austin and the rest of the ratty gang up to? Especially when they bang on and on about keeping Gazan civilians safe. Which this intel could have done if given to Israel sooner.

Sigh…
