The Result
The defense submits that the attack on European diplomats, while regrettable, is a complex situation that cannot be solely attributed to the actions of the Israeli settlers. Supporters might argue that this incident is being used to further an anti-Israel narrative.
What Trump Did
The defense might suggest that the Israeli government is working diligently to maintain peace and stability in the region, despite the provocations.
Why Supporters Credit Him
Supporters might argue that the prime minister's office is right to defend against what they perceive as a smear campaign, as it distracts from the real issues at hand.
The Supporting Record
The defense admits that the Israeli military condemned the violence, indicating a commitment to accountability. However, the defense might argue that the settlers acted out of frustration in a highly charged environment.
The Limitation or Competing Explanation
Perhaps the settlers felt threatened by the presence of foreign diplomats, leading to a miscalculation in their response.
Verdict
If this is Trump's fault, his supporters will gladly let him take the blame.
