CNN Panel Erupts Over Netanyahu Claim He Got U.S. to Attack Iran: ‘Is Israel Really America’s No. 1 Ally?’
September 3, 2026
“IS ISRAEL REALLY AMERICA’S NUMBER ONE ALLY?” 🇺🇸🇮🇱
A CNN NewsNight panel erupted in intense debate after guest May Mailman claimed Israel was America’s “number one ally.” Panelists Isaiah Martin and Leigh McGowan hit back by bringing up Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s televised boasting on Israeli Channel 14, where he bragged about logging “close to 1,000 hours” on American television to finally “bring the U.S. to its senses” and push Washington into military strikes on Iran.
Is America acting because it believes it is in America’s interests—or because its closest ally convinced it to?
Definitely the second one.
END THE BLIND ALLIANCE.
Alliances are supposed to serve mutual interests. But when one ally openly celebrates persuading the other to go to war, Americans have every right to ask: who’s influencing whom?
