The US president has spoken to reporters on board Air Force One about his whirlwind trip to Israel and Egypt. He said he did not want to bring up the subject of a pardon for Netanyahu during his address at the Israeli Knesset, but was moved to do so because of the applause for the prime minister. “I actually told him I didn’t want to bring up the pardon. But it was just a perfect spot. It was good timing. Wouldn’t you say?” Trump said, according to a video posted by the White House.
