Classic foreign-policy blame game — both sides have receipts, neither has the full story.

No public clip exists of Trump saying he'd build hotels in Gaza while Bibi reacts surprised on stage.

That 9-out-of-10 stat is just pulled from the air — no source, no data, just vibes.

Classic 'Trump controls everything' take — ignores decades of Israeli independent ops.

Green-light framing is a value judgment — depends what counts as approval vs. non-interference.
