  "account": "US President Donald Trump endorsed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday as the longtime leader battles for an edge in the upcoming parliamentary election. Trump commended Netanyahu as a \"great warrior prime minister\" and peace partner, crediting him with joining the U.S. in launching strikes on Iran in February. Despite Israeli public support for Trump waning due to disagreements over Iran, the endorsement is not guaranteed to benefit Netanyahu and his right-wing Likud party in the Oct 27 national election. The election, held in the wake of the Hamas attack on Oct 7, 2023, could determine Netanyahu's continued leadership of Israel amid a period of significant turmoil.",
  "summary": "The Trump endorsement is not certain to give Netanyahu and his right-wing Likud party a boost as Israeli public support for Trump has diminished amid Israeli-US disagreements over Iran.",
