The motivation here is the crossover with #Epstein and Trump's paranoia about what is out there; he's blackmailable, and a national security risk. It's not about US support for Israel, per se.
Ehud Barak & Jeffrey Epstein were tight and Barak's emails were hacked by ties to Iranian intelligence.
Victims testified that they met the brothers at nightclubs, parties and on dating apps, and were attacked after accepting their invitations to all-expense paid getaways to the Hamptons; Aspen, Colorado; and a Caribbean cruise. More than 60 women say they were raped by one or more of the brothers, according to prosecutors. https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/alexander-brothers-convicted-sex-trafficking-213846372.html
11 women testified they were sexually assaulted by 2 or more of the brothers...
Alon & Tal Alexander were also convicted of sex trafficking of a minor while Alon & Oren Alexander were convicted of aggravated sexual abuse by force or intoxicant & sexual abuse of a physically incapacitated person."
No connection to #Epstein (that I'm aware of), but these real estate mogul brothers are definitely part of the entitled class of sexual predators & traffickers among the well-heeled.
At least they're going to the can. Will those trafficked to be held accountable?

Trump did not announce a U.S. policy then walk it back. That is not what happened, and media presenting it that way does a disservice.
Trump said words he thought might appeal to his audience in the moment, with no connection to actual policy, then did that again with a different question/asker.
