Late reply sorry.
Rice was the stick that broke the camels back , she wanted an ethical war and promoted her vision to the previously mentioned people she lost the respect of most and she damaged the the relationship , you can see this as and when Israel believes the US is going to try to do a deal with Iran which does not cover our strategic concerns

Our system is that majorities rule. You may not support Johnson, but you should support the system and look forward to his replacement when the wind changes direction.

An 'ethical' war. Hmmmm.
All well and good if you can get others to help but you can really only rely on people who share your motivation.

The concept she presented and pressed for was based on the views of various members of the State Department and as we would learn much later the Pentagon had a totally different view
One of the lessons Israel learnt even before Rice was that there is an underlying conflict between the Pentagon and the State Dept and each president virtually rotates between the two - Trump was a Penatagon Biden will be State Dept , Obama was strictly State Department as he had little real time for the Pentagon believing there was a political scientific resolution to all affairs no matter how dire ..

That's interesting. I've never noticed that some Presidents favour the State Dept and others the Pentagon.

That explains a lot about US Gov and Presidential policies.

Archaeologists wondered why satellite photos of Israel were blurry. It led to a major discovery
All two archaeologists wanted was better satellite imagery of Israel so they could do their work. Instead, they led the way to uncovering what could be major construction at a secretive nuclear facility.

My Reference to Old Nick was in relationship to whoever ultimately forms a Government in Israel will have to have done a deal with the devil .
We have Passover which nearly always coincides with Easter
