Trump Publicly Endorses Netanyahu by Sharing Israeli Election Poll
U.S. President Donald Trump publicly endorsed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by sharing a Newsmax article on his Truth Social platform. The article highlighted a new Israeli election poll showing Netanyahu's bloc leading the opposition.
The poll, conducted among 886 respondents with a 3.3% margin of error, indicated that Netanyahu's bloc would secure 54 seats in the Knesset, compared to the opposition's 52 seats. The remaining 14 seats would go to Arab parties. This represents a two-seat advantage for Netanyahu's camp, a shift from previous polls where the opposition held the lead.
According to the poll's detailed results presented in the article, the Likud party would receive 18 seats, while Gadi Eisenkot's party would get 22. The Bennett-Lapid list would secure 12 seats, and the Democrats 10, with other parties like Religious Zionism, Otzma Yehudit, Yisrael Beiteinu, Shas, and United Torah Judaism dividing the rest.
This endorsement from Trump aligns with a trend of strengthening poll numbers for Netanyahu observed in September. The sharing of the poll underscores Trump's consistent support for Netanyahu and their long-standing close relationship, now prominently displayed on social media ahead of the upcoming Israeli elections scheduled for October 27.
