Said to be mulling NYC mayor run, Andrew Cuomo joins 'dream team' to defend Netanyahu
Lawyer Alan Dershowitz convened the team to defend the prime minister of Israel as he faces international war crime charges over Israel's actions in Gaza.

Trump was the ONLY “leader” at the G7 that refused to sign a statement calling for restraint, de-escalation, and diplomacy between Iran and Israel.
But, Trump refused to sign it, once again abandoned our allies, and then left the summit abruptly
