The White House is driven by three main motives, an unnamed senior official told the Times of Israel. The first is revenge. The second is frustration: Its no secret that they were involved in an attempt to bring down the Netanyahu government something that we have clear knowledge of and failed. The third is the administrations attempt to divert attention from the negotiations with Iran to the Palestinian issue.
Childishness: Not a motive but certainly a force behind the behaviors.
Israel seems to be begging for a denial by the WH re: interference in the election so Bibi can unleash video or other evidence.
This I would love to see.
