I haven't seen any data. What I'm suggesting is that before being elected it's pretty easy to throw around promises. Especially if said promises are controversial and aimed at riling up your voter base. Of course if you're an orange taco you can apparently throw around whatever whenever, but I digress.

I want to see Netanyahu extradited to the Hague as much as the next person, but talk is cheap and the real world consequences can be dire.

Right, so again, he is the presumptive winner still. And he needs to start planning for the reality of this now, not when Netanyahu shows up to troll his swearing in ceremony.
