Contrary to previous reports, both Israel and the UN are denying recent reports of a row at a recent White House meeting concerning Hezb’Allah. I hope this is is true and not just some face-saving move. Israel has been covering for some Trump missteps, so I will reserve judgement for now.
McMaster is no friend of Israel. That much we do know.
U.S., Israel Reject Claims Relationship Strained, Deny Closed Door Shouting Match
Trump admin, Israel shoot down reports of disagreement over combatting Hezbollah
By Adam Kredo, Washington Free Beacon, September 14, 2017:
Story continues below advertisementSenior U.S. and Israeli officials deny the relationship between the two countries has been strained over differences in how to deal with the threat of Hezbollah, according to multiple senior government officials from both countries who told the Washington Free Beacon that recent reports of a yelling match between senior Trump administration and Israeli government officials are false.
Recent media reports allege the Trump administration and Israel have been in conflict over the best way to deal with the threat posed by Hezbollah, an Iranian-backed terror organization that has played a major role in bolstering embattled Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
Tensions are said to have come to a head during a high-level August meeting between the countries in which White House National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster is alleged to have yelled at his Israeli counterparts and dismissed concerns about Hezbollah being a terror organization—a charge that multiple senior U.S. and Israeli officials denied in conversations with the Free Beacon.
Further allegations that the Israeli delegation asked White House National Security Council staffer Mustafa Javed Ali to leave the room over concerns that he does not view Hezbollah as a terror organization also are being called untrue, according to both U.S. and Israeli officials who were present in the Aug. 27 meeting.
A copy of the official list of U.S. and Israeli officials participating in the high-level meeting shows that Ali was never scheduled to attend, according to a copy of that list viewed by the Free Beacon.
The situation is being portrayed in the U.S. and Israeli media as further proof of tension between McMaster’s NSC and their Israeli counterparts.
The issue of Hezbollah’s rise in the region—and the direct threat this poses to Israel as Iranian-backed forces gather closer to its borders—has been a mainstay of ongoing dialogue between the United States and Israel, with multiple senior Trump administration sources telling the Free Beaconthat McMaster’s NSC fully agrees with Israel’s concerns and supports Hezbollah’s designation as a global terrorist organization.
Michael Anton, spokesman for the White House NSC, denied that McMaster ever yelled at his Israeli counterparts and described multiple media reports claiming otherwise as flatly untrue.
Anton further disclosed to the Free Beacon that, as part of a renewed push to counter Hezbollah’s influence in the region, McMaster “has directed the NSC staff to look at ways the U.S. can be more aggressive in its posture towards Hezbollah.”
The effort to counter Hezbollah, which is supported by the Israelis, is “a major element of our Iran strategy,” according to Anton, who described this policy as directed at ensuring that Iran and it’s terror proxies do not retain a permanent foothold in Syria, where they would “endanger Israel’s borders.”
Anton further knocked down allegations that NSC aide Ali was asked to leave the meeting by the Israelis, telling the Free Beacon that he was never scheduled to participate in the discussions and was not present at any point.
Senior Israeli officials independently confirmed to the Free Beacon that recent media reports about the tension are false.
“Israel never asked for Mustafa Ali to not attend a meeting on Hezbollah, Syria, or any other matter,” Itai Bardov, spokesperson for the Israeli Embassy in Washington, told the Free Beacon. “Israel is not aware of any Trump administration official that does not consider Hezbollah a terror organization, and Gen. McMaster never yelled at Israeli officials.”

If Israel is covering up then they do not deserve any support when hizbollah attacks them. The fact that a jihadi is part of his team and he support and sups with Muslim brotherhood is enough reason to kick out McMaster.
Muslims are united in their goal of occupation , domination , terrorising and subjugation and practice Islamic Art Of Occupation & Ethnic Cleansing Without Killing http://bit.ly/2y1iju8

Unfortunately, Israel for the time being has to save face as the inner circle of Trump’s security / decision making apparatus, seems to have been hijacked by (Kelly, McMaster, Tillerson, Mattis, Kushner[?]) deep state / establishment operators and Israel has to hedge its bets between Trump (if he ever returns to his true form…) and the swamp reptiles which are hell bent to derail Trump’s (original) agenda, whether he fully realizes it, or not
Trump supporters on television, radio and the press must raise hell about McMaster’s subversion and mobilize a popular push for his removal

The better question is who prompted Trump to hire McMasters? He got ride of Priebus who accepted Mueller’s nomination.

Trump listens to that traitorous bastage? Why? If McInsane recommends anything that’s a good reason NOT to do it.

McMaster is anti-Israel and has to GO! The longer this anti-Semite stays in the Whitehouse the worse it will be for Israel. McMaster cannot even state the obvious about Hamas and Hezbollah. He doesn’t think ISIS, AlQaeda or all the rest of the terrorist organizations present problems. Too bad he wasn’t in the twin towers or pentagon on 9/11, maybe he’d see reality.
IN THE MEANTIME MCMASTER NEEDS TO GO AND TAKE HIS ANTI-SEMITISM AND TANTRUMS WITH HIM!

I remember when Hezbollah was spelled like that, but I prefer to refer to them as “Hey-is-bulla-bulla”, an organization dedicated to lies, destruction and stupidity in the name of a false god. I note that in the email, it was referred to as “Hezb’Allah”, and that tells me all I need to know as to who and what they are really all about.
