Donald Trump will as president give Benjamin Netanyahu a āblank checkā in the Middle East, possibly opening the way for all-out war between Israel and Iran, the former CIA director and US defense secretary Leon Panetta predicted.
āWith regards to the Middle East, I think heās basically going to give Netanyahu a blank check,ā Panetta said of Trump, who won the presidential election this week and will take office again in January.
āāWhatever you do, whatever you want to do, whoever you want to go after, you have my blessing.ā I mean, he basically said that [before the election].ā
Speaking on the One Decision podcast, which he co-hosts with Sir Richard Dearlove, a former head of MI6, the British intelligence service, Panetta also said he expected Trump to favour allowing Russia to retain control of areas of Ukraine held since its invasion two years ago.
