U.S. President Donald Trump publicly endorsed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ahead of the Knesset elections, warning that a change in leadership could impact the fight against Iran. Trump released a message to the Israeli public expressing his "full and unconditional" support for Netanyahu's reelection, calling him an "outstanding leader" and a "great warrior prime minister" and "even greater partner" in confronting the Iranian threat.
Trump highlighted the decades-long threats of destruction against Israel and the U.S. emanating from the Iranian regime. He specifically cautioned that a different leader in Israel might alter the U.S.-Israel cooperation against Tehran. "If Israel has the wrong leader, meaning someone other than Bibi, America will have to do it itself, and I have no desire to do that," Trump stated.
The U.S. president also issued a direct threat to Iran, noting that Tehran had already suffered significant military and economic damage. He indicated that further U.S. actions would depend on Iran's leadership. "If he doesn't change his approach quickly, we will soon finish what we started," Trump said, without specifying the timing or nature of potential new actions.
Trump praised Netanyahu's resilience under political pressure, including from domestic opposition. "I've seen Bibi in the toughest moments. Ordinary men or women would have broken under such pressure, but Bibi did not break," he said. Trump concluded by urging Israelis to support Netanyahu in the upcoming elections.
