    Really interesting, thank you for sharing.

    The article paints it as a personal decision; this surprises me, as I would have thought he would have worked out a deal with figures of the party or Harris, to get something in exchange for his dropping out (such as a guarantee of continued support for Israel, for example).

      He could ask for things, but would have no real mechanism to to enforce the other end of the bargain
