[quote=Anonymous][quote] WASHINGTON — Former President Donald Trump falsely characterized Israel’s role in his administration’s assassination of Iran’s top general during remarks this week, according to three U.S. officials familiar with the planning of the operation.

Trump said Wednesday that Israel planned to be part of the January 2020 operation that killed Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani but abruptly backed out the night before it was to take place. In his remarks, delivered before an audience at his Mar-a-Lago club in South Florida, Trump sharply criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for that decision after months of working with the U.S. on the operation…

Israel was going to do this with us, and it was being planned and working on it for months,” Trump said Wednesday. “We had everything all set to go, and the night before it happened, I got a call that Israel will not be participating in this attack.”

“I’ll never forget that Bibi Netanyahu let us down,” Trump added, referring to Netanyahu by his nickname.

“That was a very terrible thing,” he said. “And then Bibi tried to take credit for it. That didn’t make me feel too good.”[/quote]

I guess some source/s(not named) are saying this did not happen. It is not a “high level” source just someone in the Trump administration familiar with the operation. Trump only remembers/cares about events and people who “did him wrong”. NBC said “Israeli intelligence helped confirm Soleimani’s location for American intelligence” but was not involved? Maybe the source and/or reporter/editor is trying to protect Bibi, sources, methods, etc. Who knows with an unnamed source?

I do not say this much but I kind of believe Trump on this one. [/quote]
