When President Donald J. Trump was running for a second term last year, the Israeli leadership did a bad job of hiding their preference for him over then-President Joe Biden or then-Vice President Kamala Harris.

Brianna Wu: Your comments are, once again, hopelessly, desperately ignorant. If I didn’t know better I would conclude you are engaging in performative ignorance, but in this case it is indisputably genuine. You seem blissfully unaware that Jordan’s annexation and claims of
