MAGA firebrand Steve Bannon accused CIA Director John Ratcliffe and his agency of lying Special Envoy Steve Witkoff on behalf of Israel during a wild, fiery rant on Monday.

“Witkoff is briefed three times a day by the CIA, and they lied to him!” began Bannon. “This is not a-, this is not some marginal mistake in intelligence. He sat right there, they lied to him three times a day — ‘Hamas is doesn’t wanna do the deal, never gonna do the deal’ — that’s the Mossad talking! That’s [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu talking! Ratcliffe should resign today. Or let’s just have a congressional hearing, right, on national television, and let’s just put it out there, exactly about what you told these people in the negotiation, and let’s go back to what you told the President of the United States about the beginning of the 12-day war. Because that was a lie also, as now we know by The Times of Israel putting out the Cabinet minutes of the War Cabinet of Netanyahu.”

Bannon has grown increasingly critical of Israel in recent months. In June, he called for an investigation into Fox News to ascertain whether, it is “dealing directly with foreign intelligence services,” or “foreign political parties.” And in September, he insisted Israel is “not an ally” of the United States.

“They’re a protectorate. They’re not an ally. They never fought shoulder to shoulder with us anywhere, okay? They get us into messes like in Iran, where they tried to have regime change and lied about it. Netanyahu and his government are destroying not only the state of Israel and gonna turn it into a Jewish Pakistan, they are hurting the Jewish community throughout the world and turning the world against the Jewish community. Full stop,” said Bannon at the time.

In another notable moment from Monday’s show, Bannon tore into Secretary of State Marco Rubio for wearing a yarmulke during a recent trip to the Holy Land.
