Even if it did happen, POTUS Trump knows we are not at war with Israel. The Logan Act cannot stop speech from occurring between two people. Afteer all, John Kerry has set several clear precedents regarding conversations with the leaders of other countries.

They’re trying to entice Trump into getting off message.

John Kerry and North Vietnam.

My first thought. John Kerry never even pretended to speak for the United States Government. If Trump called Netanyahu offering more favorable treatment, or worse, or the same, when "he's in office" it would be a crime. It would be a crime for Trump to make representations about the policy of a future administration, unless he were elected, since it would give Israel an incentive to attempt to influence the election. He could be selling his office for foreign support for his election.

Typically, the headline makes an outrageous and sensational claim, and in the text of their own story they offer no proof, and actually contradict it.

Ted Kenedy also went and spoke with the soviets to undermine pres Reagan

“Drive-Bys have never told this story. It was August 27, 2009, where I first discussed this, when I first learned of it. Essentially Kennedy, through Tunney and other intermediaries, was sending memos and communiques to the president of the Soviet Union, the chairman of the Communist Party (Yuri Andropov at the time) asking him to be patient and don’t overreact to Reagan, that Reagan doesn’t know what he’s doing. He’s a cowboy. Work with us, Kennedy said, and with your help, we can get rid of Reagan in 1984.

Ted Kennedy actually sought the assistance of the Soviet Union in 1984 in defeating Ronald Reagan in the election. In other words, what I’m telling you is — and it’s in the KGB files. I’m not even expanding what this is. Ted Kennedy was asking for Yuri Andropov’s assistance in the form of interference in the presidential election of 1984. The memo said, “‘The only real potential threats to Reagan are problems of war and peace and Soviet-American relations. These issues, according to the senator, will without a doubt become the most important of the election campaign.’”

If Trump encouraged Netanyahu to accept the cease fire deal, the Biden Administration should be pleased.

The Biden Administration WANTS the cease fire deal, so they should be happy about Trump’s phone call, if this story is even true.

This obviously means that Rat Party Headquarters knows that the Manhattan case...the Miami case...and the DC case have all collapsed.
