Compelling piece which argues that the events of 2020 to 2023 saw a shift away from US thinking that MENA's stability relied on a balance of power between the KSA and IRI towards an overt underwriting of Israeli regional domination, which in turn has compelled other states to unite against this.
Iran and the New Geopolitical Moment
A coalition of states is seeking to avert a U.S. attack, and Israel is in the forefront of their mind.

“Investments in Israeli state securities, including Israel Bonds, effectively allocate public funds to sustain criminal acts,” Alex Smith, a DAWN legal advisor, said. “New York officials ... may face personal civil and criminal liability for aiding and abetting those crimes."

Interesting follow up from Phil Gordon, former senior aide to President Biden on MENA and the National Security Advisor to Kamala Harris, where he says that *technically* Biden didn't violate the law because Biden's lawyers did not determine that he broke the law.
Important question so happy to respond directly: *Of course I believe presidents must follow the law. *In this specific case that is not as clear cut as you imply because it depends on judgments that are subjective (like the definition of “restricting” aid or “proportionate” use of force), and U.S. government lawyers never reached the conclusion that the law required the suspension of arms transfers. *So my point wasn’t that Biden did not follow the law but that Israeli critiques that he “embargoed” weapons are not just wrong but absurd when in fact he resisted serious and legitimate pressure to do so on policy and legal grounds. *I would also note that I was not “celebrating” Biden for resisting that pressure. I have myself publicly supported arms conditionality--which I think our law, interests and values require. *My core points remain: Biden did not, as alleged, deny Israel the weapons it needed. And U.S. efforts to do more to protect the people of Gaza—which was at the origin of the Israeli complaints—is the opposite of something we should apologize for.

US government lawyers never reached those conclusions because they went out of their way not to.

They knew such conclusions would be unwelcome by the White House and thus avoided them.

From 2024, on the subject of Israel restricting humanitarian assistance:

www.justsecurity.org/93589/no-mil...
Section 620I: No Military Assistance to States Restricting U.S. Humanitarian Assistance
The United States should be using the leverage this provision creates to shape more responsible Israeli policies toward aid delivery.

“…So imagine being as worldly as Richard Branson/Elon Musk/Peter Mandelson/Steve Bannon/Bill Gates and thinking that a billionaire with billionaires’ lawyers in the malleable US justice system ends up in jail in Florida because of some fit-up. Do me a favour.”

Why the “Calendar Girls” Detail Matters
Here’s the part that makes the deletions impossible to brush off.

In 2016, The New York Times published a report detailing how Donald #Trump hosted a “calendar girl” competition at Mar-a-Lago in 1992, organized by George Houraney at Trump’s request.

DOJ ERASED Epstein files after they went public and Trump’s name was mentioned repeatedly.

No explanation. No accountability. That’s not a mistake that’s a cover-up in real time. 🔥
