Make no mistake—major-media news reports confirm Mueller's probe is turning toward a finding of Trump campaign collusion with Israeli business intel companies working in conjunction with Netanyahu's government, so Trump is suddenly playing the pro-Israel card quite strategically.
1/ Trump's goal here is to re-position himself by saying I am pro-Israel and have always been pro-Israel and anything I did before the election with the Israelis was merely consistent with being pro-Israel and everyone else should be pro-Israel and *stop looking at my collusion*.
2/ He also wants American Jews to rally around him no matter what comes out about him working with the Saudis and the Emiratis and working with the Israelis in a way that embarasses Israel and calls into question both his values (of which there are none) and Netanyahu's (ditto).
3/ And here's the grotesque part: Trump and Netanyahu have been in bed for at least 2 years with some of the most harrowing anti-Semitic political campaigns around the world you could imagine. So Trump would like some protection against blowback for when all that is exposed, too.
