Nine days before Israel's general election, then-U.S. President Donald Trump announced his support for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The endorsement came via a post on social media.
Netanyahu, who was seeking re-election, shared a video of Trump's announcement on his own social media channels. In the video, Trump stated that he was "honored" to have Netanyahu's "friendship" and that he believed Netanyahu would "continue to do a great job." He also mentioned that he had "great respect" for Netanyahu and that he was "working very hard for Israel."
The timing of the endorsement, so close to the election, was seen as a significant boost for Netanyahu's campaign. Trump's support has historically been a powerful factor in Israeli politics, particularly among right-wing voters. The prime minister's office did not immediately comment on the specific implications of the endorsement, but the move was widely interpreted as a clear signal of U.S. backing for Netanyahu's leadership.
