President Donald Trump dismissed Mike Waltz from the position of national security adviser amid alleged conspiracies involving Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Waltz, who previously served as head of the National Security Council, allegedly coordinated military strategies with Netanyahu during a February meeting, stirring significant controversy in the administration.
Reports emerged suggesting that Trump was displeased with Waltz’s apparent alliance with Netanyahu on military moves against Iran. A source indicated Waltz “shared the Israeli leader’s conviction” regarding Iran strikes, diverging from Trump’s preference for diplomatic routes.
Waltz’s exit follows previous controversies, including a messaging mishap known as “Signalgate,” in which a top globalist editor was added to a chat about a military operation against Yemen’s Houthi group. This added to the discomfort surrounding Waltz’s position, although the White House has not explicitly commented on either incident.
