Culprits:

Trade with Türkiye heavily curtailed (a friend that imports clothing from there told me it goes via Italy).

I actually saw/heard a report in the last couple of days that TK exports to IL have gone to basically zero, while TK exports to the PA are up something like 1600%...  Sent to straw buyer co in the PA, who takes a 3-10% cut. Import papers are changed in port after offloading for ostensible onward transfer to the PA.

This sounds way too absurd to be true.

Sounded like raw materials (חומרי גלם) as opposed to food

Sounds like our administration to me.

I'm no fan at all, but to give away names of an ally just sounds too crazy.

Have you been paying attention???

Seriously? Does anyone in their right mind think that the US (even the most hostile administrations such as Carter and BHO) would do something like this a la the Rosenbergs?

It is amazing how the clueless dimwit Amos Hochstein is still running around the ME spewing Biden administration nonsense.

I wont be voting for Trump OR Harris but just wait till Ilan Goldenberg is leading on MidEast policy.

According to a write-up in Tablet, after the stupid ceasefire/gas deal brokered with Hezbollah/Lebanon, the US provided the Lebanese with tech/training that led to the exposure of several Israeli assets in Lebanon.

It all leads back to the stupidity of the mindset behind the Iran deal.

"An unnamed source in Iran's Supreme National Security Council told Kuwaiti newspaper al Jarida that a high-ranking American security delegation, mediated by Oman, secretly traveled to Tehran, the Kuwaiti paper wrote on Wednesday."

To me, the level of sourcing is pretty unreliable. leaving aside how unlikely it seems.

Al Jarida sounds like an Eli Kopter version of "we spoke to Jared Kushner"
