Former U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a strong endorsement of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, urging Israelis not to replace him and warning that a change in leadership could impact the fight against Iran. In a statement addressed directly to the Israeli public, Trump praised Netanyahu as a "great fighter" and a "great partner for peace" in confronting the Islamic Republic of Iran, which he noted has chanted "Death to Israel, Death to America!" for 51 years.
Trump highlighted Iran's systematic destruction, both militarily and economically, under his administration, and cautioned that the nation would continue its threats if not deterred. He suggested that if Israel elected a leader other than Netanyahu, the U.S. would have to handle the Iranian threat alone, something he expressed no desire to do.
The former president lauded Netanyahu's resilience in the face of significant opposition, including internal Israeli resistance, stating that Netanyahu remained strong and even thrived under pressure. Trump emphasized that the U.S. requires a partner like Netanyahu, especially given America's past support for Israel.
Concluding his statement, Trump explicitly declared his full support for Netanyahu's current election bid, assuring voters that "Bibi Netanyahu will never let you down!"
