U.S. President Donald Trump stated on Wednesday that his public endorsements of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu significantly impacted the Israeli election results. In a statement, Trump presented his support during the election campaign as a key factor in shifting the mandate numbers.
Trump claimed that before he expressed his support, Netanyahu appeared headed for a significant defeat. However, he asserted that the trend reversed following his intervention. "Instead of a decisive defeat for a great Prime Minister, it now looks like a tie or even a victory for Netanyahu after a big comeback," the U.S. President said.
His remarks follow two public statements of support for Netanyahu released by Trump in the past week, in which he praised the Prime Minister's performance and the security cooperation between Israel and the United States. In his final statement, published on the eve of the election, Trump directly appealed to Israeli citizens to vote for Netanyahu.
Trump also addressed the motivations behind his support for the Israeli Prime Minister, stating it stems from his desire to act for the benefit of Israel, the United States, and the entire Middle East. He concluded by saying he "only wants what is best for the Middle East, Israel, and the United States of America."
