Nailing a war criminal for corruption would be as delightfully ironic as nailing Capone for tax stuff.
Well, then we should probably nail every Western leader in the past decades for corruption if we want to achieve peak irony. Most of them, after all, commited much worse "war crimes" than Netanyahu did.
Also, I'm not yet ready to rejoice about his downfall- I'm waiting for an actual indictment, then I can be cautiously optimistic. We sorely need change from this disgusting first family.
Did you read what Netanyahu called the reports? He pulled a Trump and called the reports about his alleged corruption as 'fake news'. The Trump-Netanyahu bromance is strong after the unprecedented US ass kissing of Israel sadly.
I don't think you really get just how much "US ass kissing" was needed to repair that relationship after Obama's unprecedented betrayal.
I'm not sure why USA needed to mend anything with their uppity Middle Eastern client state.
You wouldn't.
I think you don't understand. Israel is a minor country. People have nothing due to you.
Putting everything else aside, Israel's tech and R&D sector is the best in the world. The US' various first-look deals via defense arrangements are massively beneficial to both countries. A smart President would understand that keeping those in place is to the benefit of the US. A spiteful, petty President on the way out the door would attempt to unilaterally blow that up.
I'm very aware of Israel tech/R&D sector. Not sure if it the best, but it is among the best. The company I work for (in alarm systems) actually mainly install products from a Canadian-Israeli company (they're not the best product on the market, but they are just behind the best quality product, while being half of price). I'm not sure the first-look deals are worth all the defence spending / giving a bling eye to colonization and failure of the peace process, through.
