So, you agree he knows.
And I think it’ll come out he’s involved.
He has to know ... since it’s been plastered all over the news ... :-) ...
BUT, I think what you’re thinking is that he knew about it before anyone else. And, he may very well have, since he would be privy to a lot of inside information (as anyone would who was in his same political position).
Now, as to whether Obama set it up ... it wouldn’t take much. Just one sentence whispered in the right ear and it would get done. Obama could say at a political gathering or a special dinner ... something like ... “You know, if Netanyahu could be defeated, I could get this peace process going again. I wish someone competent would go over there and help defeat Netanyahu.”
That’s all that would need to be said ... AND ... that wouldn’t, in the least, be illegal or even “directing” it from his office.
