U.S. President Donald Trump announced his endorsement of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for the upcoming Israeli elections, stating that if Israel does not have the "right leader," meaning anyone other than "Bibi," America would have to "do the job itself," which he is "not inclined to do." Trump described Netanyahu as "strong," "brave," and a "great fighter" and an "even greater partner for peace" in the fight against Iran. He emphasized that this is the type of partner the United States requires from Israel.
Netanyahu thanked Trump for the "tremendous support" and "joint work," vowing to "complete the mission together." Trump, who had previously avoided endorsing any specific candidate in Israeli politics, clarified his support for Netanyahu is "total and complete." He praised Netanyahu for standing strong and even thriving "in the face of tremendous opposition, including opposition that came even from within Israel itself."
Trump's full statement highlighted Netanyahu's resilience under pressure, contrasting him with ordinary individuals who would have collapsed. He reiterated that Netanyahu is the partner the U.S. needs, especially given America's extensive support for Israel. Trump also referenced Iran's slogan, "Death to Israel, Death to America! We will destroy the little Satan and the big Satan," and noted that Iran's threats have been systematically thwarted both militarily and economically, with further action promised if Iran does not change its ways.
