I've been thinking abut this situation (and yep, I do have a headache!). Th question which keeps coming up in my mid is why the public fisticuffs? These matters are usually handled privately, rather than both parties stepping into the ring. Especially when they are supposed to be allies and friends.
And so I cogitated, ruminated, meditated and took aspirins.
And then a flash of intuition like Eureka!, but more modest.
Might it be that this squalid public cuffing that was initiated by Israel be in revenge for something the US has done to offend them? Could it be that it was US intelligence that has put together the "picture" that the Dubai police then used to publicize Israel's assassination of a top Hamas official less than a month before Biden got his welcoming box of chocolates stamped upon?
Is it possible that the US were engaged in brokering a secret peace negotiation between Hamas and Israel to make middle east peace process a success, and that Israel decided to assassinate a top Hamas official to sabotage that, resulting in the US providing the excellent intelligence analysis to the Dubai police to dress Israel down?
Or something like this?
Or nothing like it?
Oh dear, the headache is back...

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
