In an unusual and overt intervention in the Israeli election, U.S. President Donald Trump issued a direct appeal to Israeli citizens to vote for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The message, released just a day before polls opened, highlighted the close alliance between the two leaders and boasted of dramatic military and economic actions they had taken together against Iran.
Trump began his statement by sharing a previous endorsement of Netanyahu, stating, "To the citizens of Israel, for those of you who haven't seen it yet, I am attaching the message of support I gave a week ago to your Prime Minister, Bibi Netanyahu." He added, "Everyone knows, including the enemy, that Bibi and I have an excellent relationship and that we succeed together."
The U.S. President then detailed his administration's military and strategic achievements, referencing an operation in Venezuela as "one of the most successful military actions in history." He also cited operations against Tehran, including "Operation Midnight Hammer," which he claimed prevented Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, and "Operation Great Fury," which he asserted left the Islamic Republic without functioning naval or air forces.
Trump described Iran's current situation in harsh terms, alleging that two layers of its leadership, military and civilian, had been eliminated. He claimed that naval blockades and sanctions had led to an unprecedented inflation rate of 301%. "When you go to the polls, remember that Bibi is an outstanding warrior Prime Minister!" Trump concluded, publicly calling on Israeli voters and referencing Iranian epithets against both countries. "The call 'Death to America, Death to Israel' must no longer be heard around the world, and it will not be heard. Vote for Bibi Netanyahu for Prime Minister. We must complete the mission we started!"
According to Newsmax, Prime Minister Netanyahu had recently asked President Trump for more public support. An American source told the network that Netanyahu had even sent Trump draft posts and suggested Trump speak with Israeli reporters to express his support. Netanyahu's rival, Gadi Eisenkot, commented on Trump's endorsement, expressing confidence that "Trump will cooperate with any leader elected in Israel."
