A true friend of Israel doesn’t threaten to withhold U.S. support based on the result of its election. The U.S.-Israel relationship has endured regardless of which party coalition leads it. Trump’s attempt at strong-arming its voters risks Israel’s security and erodes the bipartisan bond we have with our only democratic ally in the region.
Israeli voters decide who leads Israel, not Trump. Pro-Israel American voters should remember this threat and see that Israel cannot count on Trump.
Trump says here he would not be inclined to help defend Israel if Bibi loses.
"If Israel has the wrong Leader, which would be anyone other than Bibi, America will have to do this work ourselves, and I am not inclined to do so."
