Trump endorses Netanyahu ahead of Israel's election

U.S. President Donald Trump announced his full support for Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel's upcoming election in a Truth Social post. He praised Netanyahu's conduct toward Iran and said he did not want the United States to have to act alone.

Addressing the Israeli people, Trump gave Netanyahu his complete and total endorsement for another term as prime minister. He described him as a warrior and a partner for peace, praising his resilience against political and security challenges.

Trump wrote that if Israel had a different leader, the United States would have to do the work against Iran itself, and that he was not inclined to do so. His statements about Iran and military achievements are presented as his claims and views.

Netanyahu thanked Trump for his support and their joint work. According to N12, Gadi Eisenkot responded that he appreciated Trump as a friend of Israel, but that elections were an internal matter to be decided only by Israeli citizens.

Hadashot Israel translated the full post into Hebrew. The carousel preserves Trump's wording and views; it does not independently verify every assertion in his message.
