Donald Trump endorses Benjamin Netanyahu for Israeli election

US President Donald Trump expressed his full support for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the country's upcoming parliamentary elections, according to a post on his Truth Social platform. Trump praised Netanyahu's strength, bravery, and brilliance, particularly in his leadership during the ongoing Iran war, which has now surpassed the eight-month mark. The President described Netanyahu as a "great warrior Prime Minister" and an "even greater partner for peace" in the context of the Iran conflict.

Trump highlighted the United States' coordinated strikes against Iran on February 28, which resulted in the death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. He argued that Iran's hostile rhetoric toward both Israel and the United States demonstrated the regime's danger to the region. Furthermore, Trump claimed that the Iranian regime had been "systematically destroyed, both militarily and financially, and unless they change their ways, rapidly, we will soon finish the job."

The US leader also implied that if Netanyahu does not secure re-election and fails to maintain his position as Prime Minister, the United States may have to take over the task of dealing with Iran, which he is not eager to do. Trump stated, "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."
