Israel’s longest-serving Prime Minister could be rescued by a crucial election boost from a powerful ally: U.S. President Donald Trump

Mr. Trump’s administration is pondering whether to release a new Israeli-Palestinian peace plan in the weeks before the March 2 election. The peace plan could seize the election spotlight and provide the Prime Minister with a badly needed distraction from the corruption charges.

Mr. Trump already handed a political gift to Mr. Netanyahu this month when he authorized the assassination of Iranian military commander General Qassem Soleimani, a bitter enemy of Israel. But without the U.S. peace plan, or even with it, Mr. Netanyahu is in serious political and legal trouble. In two elections last year, his Likud party was unable to form a majority in parliament, leaving Israel without a fully functioning government.In November, he was charged with fraud, breach of trust and accepting bribes.

The tactics by the Likud party this week, including a petition to the High Court and an emotional walkout from a stormy Knesset committee meeting, showed how high the stakes have become.
