As a Canadian I don't feel. I just expose facts and logic. (sorry for that)
Obama interfering with an Israeli Election is legal in the US.
(I think.. Why would US legislate about stuff happening in another country's election?) If they did make a law against it, then yes it would be illegal.
If they did not legislate, then it would be "unethical", but not illegal. Israel might have a law against it and it would be up to them to put pressure on the American government to stop.
"A 2016 study by Dov Levin found that, among 938 global elections examined, the United States and Russia combined had involved themselves in about one out of nine (117), with the majority of those (68%) being through covert, rather than overt, actions."
Russia, because yes Russia has a big probability of being the main actor here, don't care if a Donkey, an Elephant or the Easter Bunny is POTUS. They're playing a game and using disruption fits their goal.
