U.S. President Donald Trump reiterated his endorsement of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in an online message to the Israeli public, urging them to vote for the premier. The statement, following a similar declaration from a week prior, highlighted their collaboration against Iran. "Vote for Bibi Netanyahu for Prime Minister, we must finish the job we started," Trump wrote, adding that he was re-sharing his previous endorsement for those who had not seen it.
Trump emphasized his "excellent relationship" and "shared achievements" with Netanyahu, citing several military actions. He mentioned the U.S. strike in Venezuela and "Operation Midnight Hammer," which he claimed prevented Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons by targeting its nuclear facility at Fordow. He also referenced "Operation "Great Wrath" (Lion's Roar), asserting that it left Iran without a navy or air force, with its military and economy in dire straits. Trump further claimed Iran's inflation rate was 301%, a naval blockade prevented oil acquisition, and two layers of its leadership, military and civilian, had been eliminated.
"When you go to the polls, please remember that Bibi was an exceptional fighting Prime Minister," Trump stated, referencing the nicknames "Little Satan" and "Big Satan" directed at Israel and the U.S. He insisted that calls of "Death to America, Death to Israel" should no longer be permitted.
This latest message echoed Trump's previous endorsement, where he called Netanyahu an "excellent fighting Prime Minister and an even greater partner for peace," praising his handling of Iran and his resilience under pressure. In that prior statement, Trump explicitly stated that if Israel did not have the "right leader," meaning anyone but Bibi, America would have to handle matters itself, which he was disinclined to do. He concluded his previous message with "my full and complete support for Bibi Netanyahu in his upcoming race for re-election as Prime Minister of Israel."
