Political analyst Shlomo Filber stated that the public endorsement of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by U.S. President Donald Trump could be electorally significant, potentially shifting three to four parliamentary seats.
Filber explained on Channel 14's main broadcast that Trump's support is strategically aimed at undecided centrist voters, who are typically influenced by security and foreign relations, particularly with the United States. He noted that a poll indicated 13% of respondents might change their voting intentions due to Trump's backing.
According to Filber, Trump's message emphasizes the importance of the close U.S.-Israel partnership, especially in confronting the Iranian threat. By presenting Netanyahu as a necessary partner to address this issue, Trump aims to refocus voters' priorities away from secondary concerns.
Filber believes this endorsement serves as a clear signal to undecided voters, highlighting the strategic value of the alliance. While Likud supporters might see it as confirmation of their existing views, the primary electoral impact is expected to come from centrist voters who prioritize strong U.S. relations and effective handling of regional security challenges.
