Former U.S. President Donald Trump has publicly urged the Israeli public to re-elect Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, issuing a stark warning about American policy toward Iran should a different leader be chosen. In a letter addressed "To the Great People of Israel," Trump stated that Washington would refuse to bear the burden of confronting Iran if there were a change in Israeli leadership.
Trump asserted that Iran, which he said has for 51 years chanted "Death to Israel, Death to America," has been systematically weakened militarily and economically. He explicitly conditioned U.S. action, saying, "If Israel has the wrong leader, meaning anyone other than Bibi, America would have to do this job itself with Iran, and I don't have the inclination to do that."
The former president lauded Netanyahu as a "great fighter" and "great partner," praising his resilience, courage, and brilliance in the face of immense pressure, even from within Israel. Trump noted that ordinary individuals would have buckled under such stress, but Netanyahu "did not buckle, in fact, he even thrived and grew stronger."
Trump concluded his message by emphasizing that a leader of Netanyahu's caliber is the type of partner the United States requires, given its significant support for Israel. He declared his "full and complete support" for Netanyahu's upcoming re-election bid, promising, "Bibi Netanyahu will never let you down!"
Netanyahu responded on social media platform X, thanking Trump for his "tremendous support and joint work," and stating, "Together we will complete the mission." He added, "Only the two of us will destroy the Iranian nuclear [program]."
