Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke with U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday, thanking him for his "amazing" and "resounding" support ahead of the upcoming Knesset elections. The call came a day after Trump issued an unusual public endorsement of Netanyahu, directly addressing Israeli citizens and calling the prime minister a "great warrior."
During the conversation, Netanyahu told Trump, "You are by far the greatest friend Israel has ever had in the White House, or will have in the future." Trump, in turn, revealed that he personally drafted the endorsement message. "I actually wrote this message myself. It's not something some guy wrote for me," the president stated, adding that Netanyahu is a "warrior" who has been treated "unfairly."
Trump expressed confidence in Netanyahu's victory, saying, "I think you're great, Bibi, and that's why I've always been supportive of you. I really think you're going to win a big victory." He concluded by telling Netanyahu, "You're the guy I want in my corner, Bibi."
Netanyahu responded by emphasizing their shared goals, stating, "Donald, we have work to finish. You said it, and we will finish it together. Nobody else will do it."
The prime minister also touched on expanding the Abraham Accords and confronting Iran's nuclear program. "The alliance between us has proven that we can do amazing things together. We have peace that we can expand, and I know our strength brings additional countries," Netanyahu said, though he did not name specific nations. Regarding Iran, he added, "You stood up to the greatest danger facing Americans: Iran with nuclear weapons. We will not let that happen."
