1. all chickens coming home to roost with Netanyahu's
Rafi ,   US   (09.13.19)
and Ron Dermer's DISASTROUS one-sided foreign policy toward the US... involving blind supplication to Trump and the GOP - and deliberate alienation of the Democrats (also supported BTW by AIPAC)

Guess who has no where to go now?

A misjudgment equivalent to IDF Intelligence chief Gen Eli Zeira on the eve of Yom Kippur War... except that this was entirely predictable.
2. 1) talking 2) boycotting 3) negotiating 4) war.
tiki ,   belgium   (09.13.19)
Talking & negotiating is definitively the better option to get a better deal and to de-escalate a tense situation.

The crux is what they are talking about and what 'deals' are being made.
3. Trump is trolling Iran. Where is the slap to Netanyahu?
Steve Benassi ,   Minneapolis USA   (09.13.19)
4. Never US pres. was friend. Putin can be THE Best friend
TheWall   (09.13.19)
Side with REAL Friend - PUTIN
5. Putin/Russia is A better Friend. A Real Friend forever.
TheWall   (09.13.19)
6. "Special friend" like putin
Avi L.   (09.13.19)
7. There is no shift in American position,.Mr. Eichner.

8. Karma is a beautiful thing!
(09.13.19)
9. More fake news. Trump & Bibi are working together.
Jake   (09.13.19)
This diplomatic dance (which will achieve nothing) will be utilized by Israel to go on the offense against Hamas & Hezbollah, while Iran is on a leash. Every single one of Israel's enemies are in bad shape at the moment

Ignore the anti-Netanyahu fake news, Trump & Bibi have the best relationship of any US and Israeli leaders in history.
10. All Trump wants, is to make the Ayatollah an offer he cannot
(09.13.19)
refuse, after he's brought him down to his knees.
This anti-Bibi spin that Ynet & other assorted Leftist lemmings are trying to attach to Trump's outstretched hand is just that...a phony spin.
11. Mr. Eichner: nobody ain't slappin' nobody, not in the face
(09.13.19)
nor touhes!
We get it: for some "Bibi" cannot do right nohow, noway...too bad for them.
12. Trump = Obama 2.0
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (09.13.19)
HE IS A DISGRACE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
13. don't count on Trump to do good (or do bad)
barry ,   Providence   (09.15.19)
as an American I hope Trump and Rouhani do talk and settle, we don't need war with Iran or the Middle East oil fields ablaze.
All should remember Trump is only interested in Trump, he dislikes disagreement and is livid over criticism, totally unreliable. On Iran he as annoyed allies, hurt Iranian people, and restarted Iran's nuclear program. Sad!
