Netanyahu went on Fox & Friends to lobby Trump on the Iran deal

<snip>

"Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is lobbying President Trump to pull out of the Iran nuclear deal in the Trumpiest way possible: by appearing on Fox & Friends, the president’s favorite TV show, to urge the president to scrap the agreement.

The prime minister’s appearance was a follow-up to his dramatic live TV presentation on Monday afternoon, in which he presented the results of a daring Israeli intelligence operation that stole more than 100,000 documents from a secret Iranian nuclear archive. Experts found it somewhat underwhelming, but the slickly produced presentation may have been received more warmly in the White House, where Trump has until May 12 to decide whether to pull the US out of the agreement he has derided as “the worst deal ever.”

And if Netanyahu wanted to be doubly sure Trump got the message from his Monday presentation, a follow-up appearance on Fox & Friends, which Trump watches religiously, is just about the best thing he could do. Predictably, nearly all of Netanyahu’s 10-minute appearance was devoted to bashing the Iran deal and urging Trump to pull out of it."
