Alleged Dick Cheney Call to Israeli Official Prior to Gulf War Air Strike Coordination

Alleged Dick Cheney Call to Israeli Official Prior to Gulf War Air Strike Coordination The passage provides a specific claim that former U.S. Defense Secretary Dick Cheney directly coordinated timing of U.S. air strikes with an Israeli official (referred to as “Misha”) and mentions a secret Mossad unit led by Ephraim Halevy. While the details (date, names, and alleged pro‑quo) could guide further archival or interview inquiries, the account is anecdotal, lacks corroborating evidence, and references events already widely reported, limiting its novelty and immediate investigative payoff. Key insights: Specific date and time (Jan 16, 1991, 5 pm) for a call from Cheney to an Israeli contact.; Reference to a “guid pro quo” that Israel would be kept fully informed about U.S. strike timing.; Mention of a Mossad unit called “7evel” headed by Ephraim Halevy facilitating back‑channel diplomacy with Jordan and the UK‑based residence of King Hussein.
