    It’s his job to accept the findings as fact. Now that there are reports of suppression, he has reason to question the integrity of the report.

    It appears you’ve arrived at the source of the problem. This is exactly what I was saying at the start of our conversation. He’s not allowed to dismiss the findings without a reassessment. So what do you think he should do?

      I don’t know, how about ask for a reassessment?

      Or how about acting on that red line he said Israel couldn’t cross and then crossed…

        The red line is not actionable, and Netanyahu knows it.

        I agree. Reassessment is the best of the three options. The most immediate option would have been the ceasefire, because it takes the State Department out of the equation and allows Biden to oversee negotiations and agreements directly, but I just read that Netanyahu declined. So now I agree he needs to mandate a reassessment immediately.
