Former U.S. President Donald Trump publicly endorsed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for the upcoming parliamentary elections, urging Israeli citizens to vote for him to "finish the job" of confronting Iran. This statement, made on his Truth Social platform, follows a similar endorsement from the previous week. Trump also criticized Jewish voters who support Democratic candidates, calling such a choice "disgraceful."
The elections, scheduled for October 27, will determine if Netanyahu's coalition can retain power against key opponents like Gadi Eisenkot, Naftali Bennett, Yair Lapid, and Mansour Abbas. Current polling suggests the incumbent coalition is far from securing a stable parliamentary majority.
Trump highlighted past joint military successes, claiming credit for crippling Iran's navy and air force, damaging its military infrastructure and economy, and eliminating two levels of its leadership. He referred to Netanyahu as a "great warrior prime minister" and asserted that their decisive actions had ended anti-American and anti-Israeli slogans globally.
Trump stated his own popularity in Israel is "99%," despite June polls from Channel 12 indicating that 71% of Israelis distrust him on matters of protecting their country's interests in deals with Tehran. He specifically urged Jewish voters not to support Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed.
