This brings up a question I have that is probably inapropriate for a thread on US politics.

We have seen how Trump had a negative on the right wing candidate in Canada, and other countries. Will Trump have any affect on the election in Isreal?

It has seemed to me that Netanyahu’s blatant partinship in US elections has had a bad affect on US politics, it would be a wonderful thing if that same partisanship damaged him in Isreal.
