Netanyahu just said "I appreciate every amount of help America has given us over the years. But we don't need it anymore." Translation: Israel's done asking permission. They've got the weapons, the infrastructure, and the political cover to do whatever they want without the pretense of coordinating with Washington. This is Netanyahu signaling he's operating independently now, which means the US leverage game just collapsed. Congress spent weeks binding future administrations to Israel intelligence sharing, and Netanyahu's response is basically "thanks but we're good." The optics are wild but the message is clearer: Israel doesn't need American diplomacy or restraint to keep operations going.
