Transactional loyalties: Netanyahu, Trump, and the war for power, influence & relevance

Benjamin Netanyahu seeks to cast himself as an international statesman. He crafts arguments in English and Hebrew, keenly aware that persuasion is a power unto itself. Then there's Donald Trump: unpredictable, even volatile, driven by a self-serving transactional logic. And yet Netanyahu often persuades him to embrace his worldview. Trump's endless impulses and appetite for legacy projects make their alignment a fragile calculus, so will this dynamic hold? And what will become of the conflict across the Middle East?
