Former U.S. President Donald Trump has re-shared a message of support for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, urging Israelis to vote for him. Trump posted on his Truth Social platform, stating that his "excellent relationship" with Netanyahu had yielded "many victories" and that they needed to "finish the job we started." This renewed endorsement comes as Israel approaches elections, with polls indicating a tight race and potential difficulty for Netanyahu's bloc to secure a parliamentary majority.
Trump previously voiced his support for Netanyahu, highlighting their cooperation, particularly in dealing with Iran. These past endorsements focused on their "shared accomplishments" and the need to continue their work. Trump's stance underscores the significance of U.S.-Israeli relations in regional security matters, and his public backing is a notable factor in Israel's election discourse.
Media reports had previously suggested communications between Netanyahu and Trump seeking further public endorsement before the elections. However, the Likud party, according to these reports, denied that Netanyahu had recently asked Trump for renewed support. Rivals of Netanyahu have asserted that the choice of the next prime minister rests with Israeli voters, despite the importance of relations with Washington.
The re-sharing of Trump's message brings renewed attention to his support for Netanyahu as the election nears and emphasizes the role of their relationship in Israeli political discussions during this period.
