    Considering Israel reneged on it as soon as Biden is leaving may be that they were planning to do this all along and wanted to wait for more favorable concessions from Trump.

      The far right wing of his government coalition had threatened to walk away, which would have crashed his gov’t > leading to a non-confidence vote > leading to a new election he would likely lose. And then there’s his ongoing court case which he will likely lose and go to jail for.

      Ofc he wrecked this deal.
