On Saturday night, as hundreds of Iranian drones and rockets sped toward Israel, the country once again faced a dilemma that has become all too familiar: What was good for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wasn’t necessarily good for Israel, and vice versa. While the country braced for attack, Bibi’s political demise was, once again, delayed, deus ex cruise missile. The U.S., Britain, and France pitched in to help Israel shoot down nearly all the rockets and drones, while Jordan, whose population is heavily Palestinian, shot down some 20 percent of the incoming fire. Meanwhile, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken was declaring America’s full-throated support for Israel, calling it “ironclad.” News networks interrupted coverage to report that Joe Biden and Bibi were due to speak shortly after the attacks commenced; Biden reassured the P.M. that the U.S., once again, stood with Israel.
