Former U.S. President Donald Trump announced his full support for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ahead of the upcoming Knesset elections. In a post addressed to the "great people of Israel," Trump praised Netanyahu's leadership, particularly his role in confronting Iran, and warned against electing anyone else.
Trump described Netanyahu as a "great fighter" and an "even greater partner for peace" in the struggle against Iran. He asserted that Iran's threats to Israel and the U.S. would have been realized without decisive action, noting that Iran has been systematically weakened militarily and economically. Trump further threatened that if Iran does not change its ways, the U.S. and Israel would finish the job.
Shifting to the Israeli election, Trump cautioned that if Israel chooses a leader other than Netanyahu, America would have to handle the situation alone, a prospect he finds undesirable. He lauded Netanyahu's resilience in the face of immense political and security pressures, including internal Israeli opposition, stating, "Bibi Netanyahu will never let you down!"
Trump emphasized Netanyahu's strength, courage, and brilliance under pressure, highlighting that ordinary individuals would have collapsed under similar circumstances. He affirmed that Netanyahu is the partner the U.S. needs leading Israel and recalled American aid to the country. The former president concluded by explicitly stating his "full and complete endorsement" of Netanyahu's bid for re-election.
