U.S. President Donald Trump announced his full support for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the upcoming elections, describing him as a "great warrior" and a strong partner in confronting Iran. Trump stated that Israel needs Netanyahu's leadership to continue its confrontation with the Islamic Republic. In a message to Israelis, Trump said Netanyahu has demonstrated "strength, courage, and genius" under significant pressure, including opposition within Israel, noting that he has not faltered but grown stronger. The U.S. President asserted that Iran, which he accused of decades of calls for Israel and the U.S.'s destruction, has faced systematic military and financial damage. He warned that Washington might have to take on the task itself if Israel is not led by Netanyahu. Trump emphasized that his message represents "complete and absolute endorsement" for Netanyahu's re-election bid, concluding that Netanyahu "will never let you down."
The message comes amid Trump's public support for Netanyahu, linking continued U.S.-Israel cooperation to an Israeli leadership that adopts a hardline approach toward Iran, with Netanyahu presented as a capable partner to continue this path. The message did not include further details on the election date or the nature of steps the U.S. administration might take if Israeli leadership changes.
