Veteran journalist Shlomo Shamir argues in an opinion piece that President Trump's support for Benjamin Netanyahu is politically harming him in the United States. Shamir calls Trump's statements regarding the elections in Israel 'crude and insulting interference' and 'a declared display of active, insulting, arrogant, and authoritarian presence'. He predicts that in the upcoming midterm elections on Tuesday, the Republican Party is expected to suffer a defeat that will turn Trump into a 'hunted mouse'.
