Couple that with Bibi's outward attempts to weaken the courts in order to save his own ass. trump is basically Netanyahu's protege. Which is why trump sucked up to him during his tenure as the worst POTUS in history.
So yes...this is exactly what Bibi needed to take attention away from the fact that he's a criminal.
trump is loving this news cycle as well. Forbes just put him in his proper place, and he's fuming.
