Political commentator Dr. Avishai Ben-Haim suggested on the "HaPatriotim" program that former U.S. President Donald Trump's recent statement of support for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu effectively created a new election slogan for Netanyahu's Likud party. Ben-Haim interpreted Trump's message as "Trump needs a strong Bibi," asserting that this was the core of Trump's endorsement.
Ben-Haim also challenged recent polls indicating a potential loss of around ten Knesset seats for the Likud party. He shared a personal anecdote about an acquaintance who, despite having previously distanced himself from supporting Netanyahu, had since returned to being a "Bibi supporter." This story was intended to illustrate Ben-Haim's belief that Netanyahu's core support base remains strong, contrary to the impression given by media polls.
Yotam Zimri, in a sarcastic remark during the program, quoted Trump as saying, "Choose Bibi, not the monkey."
