Israeli radio host Yinon Magal expressed astonishment on Monday regarding a letter of support sent by former U.S. President Donald Trump to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Trump's letter urged the Israeli public to vote for Netanyahu, a move Magal described as unprecedented and not to be taken lightly.
Magal highlighted Trump's praise for Netanyahu, stating that the former president characterized him as a leader who thrived under immense pressure, even during wartime. "I have never seen such a letter in my life," Magal said, adding that he was unsure how Netanyahu was managing the situation, especially amidst the ongoing conflict.
In his letter, Trump referred to Netanyahu as a "great fighter" and a "great builder of peace" in the struggle against Iran. He emphasized the critical nature of their joint efforts against the Islamic Republic, citing Iran's slogan "Death to Israel, Death to America." Trump suggested that Israel faced an existential threat that might have materialized without their combined actions.
Trump further implied that the work against Iran was not yet complete and that the U.S. would have to handle it alone if Israel did not have the "right leader," specifically naming Netanyahu as that leader. He concluded by stating his reluctance to undertake such a task himself.
