Former U.S. President Donald Trump asserted on Wednesday that his public endorsement of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu significantly altered the trajectory of Israel's recent elections. Trump stated on his Truth Social platform that his support transformed what he described as a "decisive defeat" into a "big comeback," potentially leading to a tie or even a victory for Netanyahu.
Trump, referring to himself in the third person, claimed, "When President Trump expressed support for Bibi Netanyahu, the whole trend reversed." He emphasized that this "turnaround" occurred only after his announcement of support, adding that he "only wants what is good for the Middle East, for Israel, and for the United States of America."
The former president's comments came as results from the Israeli elections were being finalized, with the Likud party showing a significant lead after nearly a third of the votes were counted.
