Introduction John Bolton’s revenge book hasn’t revealed much that is new. But there is one exception: the story of Bolton, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s efforts to sabotage Trump’s would-be diplomacy with Tehran.

[Editor’s note: The move to annexe the West Bank has almost no support within Israel, least of all with the usually militant settler community.
