US President Trump Expresses Electoral Support for Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu

US President Donald Trump announced his official support for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ahead of the parliamentary election taking place on October 27. Making a statement via his Truth Social account, Trump described Netanyahu as a "great warrior prime minister," while Netanyahu expressed his gratitude via social media.

US President Donald Trump declared his full support for the leader of the right-wing Likud party, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, ahead of his parliamentary election race on October 27. In a post on the Truth Social platform, Trump stated that Netanyahu had shown resilience in the face of difficulties, using the expression, "Please let this letter represent my Complete and Total Endorsement for Bibi Netanyahu in his race for reelection as Prime Minister of Israel." Trump also praised Netanyahu for cooperating with the US in the attacks carried out against Iran in February.

This election, to be held during one of the most critical periods in Israel's history following the Hamas-led attacks on October 7, 2023, will be concluded through the formation of a coalition in parliament rather than a direct popular vote. While public opinion polls show no candidate with a clear advantage on the path to power, it is stated that public support for Trump in Israel has declined due to US-Israeli disagreements regarding Iran, and it remains uncertain whether this endorsement will provide Netanyahu with a definitive advantage in the election. In response to Trump's support, Netanyahu shared the message, "Together we will finish the job!" on the X platform.
