Outreach was made, among others, to businesswoman Miriam Adelson, a close Trump ally and one of his largest donors, who has held significant influence over him and pressed him on efforts to secure the return of hostages from the Gaza Strip...
Concerns ...intensified following what they described as Trump’s blunt intervention in favor of Netanyahu on the issue of a pardon — a purely domestic Israeli matter. Trump addressed the issue both during a Knesset appearance on a past visit and in sharp criticism of President Isaac Herzog, accusing him of delaying the process...
Netanyahu himself has downplayed concerns over such involvement, saying he did not ask Trump to intervene in the pardon issue, but that "it is on his heart" ...

Israel leftists are barking at Trump just like our rabid mob at home. I find their pain delicious.
Lots of concern in this concern trolling article.
Well said.
TDS is a bad look, regardless who/where.
Projection
Boy this is going to fire up Bannon and the gang who hate us Israel Firsters.
Didn’t Biden back Netanyahu’s opponent in a previous election?
They seemed unconcerned when Slick Willie and Jug Ears interfered.
Trump is more popular in Israel than the US. That’s reason for this whining.
The Leftists Israeli parties were totally cool with Biden and Obama attempting a color revolution in Israel though. They spent tons of USA taxpayer money trying to get the leftist cabal elected.
We (the USA) were even actively funding the riots that led up to the security failures prior to October 7.
Send 10 million “immigrants”.
WTF, 0butthead sent a team over there to steer the elections. I don’t remember them saying anything.
These people had no problem with Obongo and Biden helping to take Bibi out.
Well maybe Israel should have stayed out of our elections.
I typically support Israel for Biblical reasons but I also know they are not pure by any metric.
How ironic
Aaaaaand, THESE Jews are the ones supposedly saying that they do not support DJT’s efforts to rid the world of Iran’s mullahs.
It is called free speech. If unfamiliar with the concept go to Britain — that ain’t free speech.
Israel has a Deep State, too.
Exactly.
And yet AIPAC exists.
