U.S. President Donald Trump announced his "full and complete" endorsement of Benjamin Netanyahu for Prime Minister of Israel. In a statement addressed to the "Great People of Israel," Trump declared Netanyahu a "great fighter" and an "even greater partner for peace" in confronting Iran.
Trump explicitly linked potential U.S. military action against Iran to Netanyahu's leadership, stating he would not attack Iran if Netanyahu was not by his side. He referenced Iran's repeated calls for "Death to Israel, Death to America!" and vowed to "finish the job" of systematically destroying Iran economically and militarily if it did not change its ways.
Furthermore, Trump issued a veiled threat, suggesting that if Israel were to elect a "wrong leader" other than Netanyahu, America would have to act alone against Iran, an action he expressed no inclination to take. He praised Netanyahu for his strength and resilience in the face of "tremendous opposition," even from within Israel, stating that Netanyahu "did not crumble" but "only grew stronger."
Trump described Netanyahu as the "type of partner" the United States requires from Israel, a nation that has "done so much for it." The U.S. President concluded his statement by writing, "Bibi Netanyahu will never disappoint."
