the corruption charges that netanyahu faces in israel are legitimate, and the israeli state has a functioning independent judiciary. trump should certainly not be issuing ultimatums to israeli courts.

this is very different than the charges israel faces in the hague, which have no real jurisdiction, and which are clearly without evidentiary basis. however, israel should defeat these charges, not boycott the court.

trump appears to be confused. that is not uncharacteristic of trump, but his administration needs to get him to shut up on the issue of threatening the independence of the israeli judiciary, which nobody should tolerate.
