Joe Scarborough Warns of ‘Unlikely Future’ for Netanyahu After ‘Bombs Stop’: ‘He’s Going to Run Out of Things to Attack!’

Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough unloaded on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for new military strikes against Syria, warning the foreign leader that he faced an “unlikely future” once the “bombs stop.”

Israel says it struck targets Damascus in response to what it called sectarian attacks against Druze civilians as clashes flared between the community and Bedouin tribes in the country’s south. Israel accused the Syrian government of escalating violence, which it also sees as a threat to its own security along its northern border.

Speaking to Washington Post columnist David Ignatius on Thursday’s Morning Joe, Scarborough sounded off on Netanyahu, who aside from the war in Gaza has engaged in campaigns against adversaries in Lebanon and Iran.

With the latest round of strikes in Syria, Scarborough jibed that the prime minister had “never blown an opportunity to blow an opportunity for peace”:

This, of course, comes on the heels of an exhaustive New York Times report talking about how Benjamin Netanyahu, over the past several years, has never blown an opportunity to blow an opportunity for peace, for ceasefires, for tamping things down. And now here we have him ordering strikes in Syria, another country. I mean, at some point, Benjamin Netanyahu is going to run out of things to attack.

He continued:

And I must say, yesterday’s attack, I’m sure, raised a lot of eyebrows, and inside the administration, as you saw from Marco Rubio there, outside the administration and across the region, who, for many people, they believe, as The New York Times reporting showed, that Benjamin Netanyahu understands that when the gunfire stops, when the bombs stop dropping, he still faces an unlikely future politically and legally at best.

Ignatius added that his own sources told him that Netanyahu’s cabinet “simply don’t have a plan for what comes next” in Gaza but, when it came to other conflicts “Netanyahu has achieved something that will last and be beneficial in terms of pushing Israel’s sworn enemies back.”
