Netanyahu expressly wanted a Trump administration and even closely corresponded with him during the campaign. Moreover, no, the outlook under Biden was nowhere near as dire as what it's already shaping up to be under Trump, even if it was awful and an affront to any reason le persons conscience.

That's his opinion. The fact and not opinion is that the biggest military deal for Israel was made during Obama. He also blocked a resolution condemning illegal settlement. Neither a Biden or Harris ever condemned that

Bud, I'm too tired to care about arguing about reality with you. The entire settler movement and likudnik side of Israel is fully aligned with and happy about Trump. Disappearance of Gaza and West Bank entirely was extremely unlikely under Harris and is very likely under Trump. As is actual US troops side by side with IDF in the Levant in a very obvious very different way than they have been so far. Lot of people, perhaps an entire people, are very pprobability going to die.
