Specifically, receiving envelops of cash and crates of Cuban cigars from a bunch of American and Israeli billionaires, like Arnon Milchan.

Ehud Olmert, prime minister who Netanyahu succeeded, just got out of jail
on fraud and tax evasion. They're indicting Netanyahu's wife on four charges related to receiving gifts.

If Netanyahu had a potential conflict of interest that affected national security he'd lose all support immediately and get the death penalty.

It's unbelievable and uniquely American that Trump has supporters at all at this point.
