‘We will pay in blood and treasure’: Cenk Uygur says Israel trying to drag US into ‘giant war’

Young Turks host and creator Cenk Uygur has hit out at Israel for trying to “drag the US into a giant war” in the Middle East because America will pay with “blood and treasure”. US President Joe Biden has warned the US will respond after three Americans were killed in a drone strike by Iranian-backed militants on a base in Jordan, and Donald Trump said the world is on the brink of World War Three. “The idea that America should fight Israel’s war for it is absurd – no – hard no,” Mr Prager told Sky News host Piers Morgan. “[Israel is] dragging us into a giant war in the Middle East that they’re going to ask us to pay for both in blood and treasure. “There are no Americans that are actually in favour of that, other than neoconservatives that dragged us into Iraq and that debacle over there. “So, my answer to Netanyahu is a hard no – no way to I want to go to war with Iran to help your political career.”
