U.S. President Donald Trump publicly endorsed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ahead of the upcoming Knesset elections, publishing a statement on his Truth Social platform. A significant portion of Trump's message focused on Netanyahu's role in confronting Iran, describing the Israeli leader as a "great warrior" and an "even more significant partner in the fight for peace" against the Islamic Republic.
Trump argued that a change in Israeli leadership would hinder the ongoing struggle against Iran. "If Israel has the wrong leader, and that would be anyone other than Bibi, America would have to do this job itself. I am not going to do this," the U.S. president wrote. He also praised Netanyahu's resilience under intense political pressure, both domestically and internationally.
"I watched Bibi during the toughest periods. Ordinary men and women would have broken under such pressure. But Bibi did not break. On the contrary, he became stronger and maintains that strength today," Trump stated. He concluded by saying that this is the type of leader the United States wants as a partner from Israel, a country for which America has done so much. The message ended with a direct appeal to Israelis: "Bibi Netanyahu will never let you down!"
