Donald Trump endorses Benjamin Netanyahu for Israeli election

On Sunday, US President Donald Trump declared his complete and total support for Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the country's upcoming parliamentary elections. The endorsement came in a post on Trump's Truth Social platform, where the president lauded Netanyahu's strength, bravery, and brilliance.

Trump highlighted Netanyahu's role in coordinating strikes against Iran, which had been ongoing for over eight months. The strikes resulted in the death of Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The US President characterized Netanyahu as a "great warrior Prime Minister" and an "even greater partner for peace" in the Iran conflict.

Trump underscored the threat posed by Iran's anti-Israel and anti-US rhetoric, stating that the regime had been systematically weakened both militarily and financially. He further suggested that the US might have to act independently if Netanyahu fails to secure re-election. "If Israel has the wrong leader, which would be anyone other than Bibi, America will have to do this work ourselves, and I am not inclined to do so," Trump wrote.
