Why does AI Joe Kent emphasize Israel’s track record in affecting the credibility of a ceasefire?

According to information from Pakistan, a temporary ceasefire between the United States and Iran has been reached, effective at 8:00 a.m. Beijing time on April 8. On the evening of April 7 local time, Joe Kent, the former director of the U.S. National Counterterrorism Center, said that the temporary ceasefire is good news, but the U.S. must rein in Israel to prevent it from sabotaging the ceasefire.

Kent said that Israel’s strategic goal is to overthrow the Iranian government, which runs counter to the U.S. goal of lasting peace, and that it cannot be trusted that Israel will agree to the ceasefire based on mere verbal commitments, because Israel has a terrible record of compliance with agreements.

Kent also said that the U.S. should strongly reduce military support for Israel, forcing Israel to stop its offensive actions against Iran.
