U.S. President Donald Trump issued an unusual letter of support for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu nine days before Israel's general election. The letter, addressed directly to Israeli citizens, unequivocally backed Netanyahu's continued leadership and warned against electing anyone else. "If Israel has a wrong leader, meaning anyone other than Bibi, America will have to do this job itself, and I don't have the inclination to do that," Trump wrote. Trump dedicated a significant portion of the letter to their joint fight against Iran, praising Netanyahu's handling of security threats. He stated that Iran has been systematically destroyed militarily and economically, but the U.S. would finish the job if Iran did not change its ways. The President added that Netanyahu showed courage and determination even when facing domestic opposition, noting that "ordinary men and women would have collapsed under the pressure in such situations, but Bibi did not collapse. In fact, he only got stronger." The letter concluded with Trump's explicit political endorsement, potentially marking one of the most significant interventions by a U.S. president in an Israeli election. "Please consider this letter my full and complete endorsement of Benjamin Netanyahu in his upcoming race for re-election as Prime Minister of Israel," Trump wrote, concluding, "Bibi Netanyahu will never let you down!"
