Political scientist Abbas Galimov on Netanyahu's double standards regarding US interference in the Israeli elections: Netanyahu has a rather strange understanding of the principle of non-interference by foreign countries in the internal affairs of the Israeli states. In 1996, when Clinton supported his opponent Shimon Peres, Netanyahu was furious. In his words in the Knesset he stated: "With all due respect, foreign powers will not determine the results of the elections in the State of Israel - not the American administration, not the King of Morocco, and not Yasser Arafat. "Netanyahu accused Peres of cynically using his relationship with the US for election purposes. In 2013, history repeated itself. Then Obama criticized Netanyahu's policy, and then the Likud accused the American leader of blatant interference in the Israeli elections: "This is an undisguised interference of the US president in the Israeli elections. The fingerprints of the Israeli left are clearly visible in all this. "Netanyahu himself emphasized that only the citizens of the State of Israel have the right to determine who best protects the interests of their country. 13 years later, Trump openly called on Zionist voters to support Netanyahu. Moreover, he warned that if another prime minister is elected, the cooperation between Washington and the Israeli state could become complicated. Netanyahu not only did not object, but publicly thanked the American leader, and urged the voters to listen to his words and vote for "Likud. " Here is his statement: "President Trump says he will do it [eliminate the Iranian threat], and that he will only do it if we act together. That's why I ask you: listen to him, consider his words and vote for me. According to Axios sources, Netanyahu is not only accepting Trump's help, but he is personally asking him to actively intervene in the election process, while offering new formulations for his support. I wouldn't rule that out.
