Former U.S. President Donald Trump stated that his public endorsement of Benjamin Netanyahu was instrumental in preventing the Israeli Prime Minister from losing the recent election. Speaking to reporters at Andrews Air Force Base, Trump addressed claims that pre-election polls predicted a loss for Netanyahu. "When the statement of support came out, it helped him a lot," Trump said, adding that Netanyahu "did quite well" and was either winning or tied with his rivals. He later reiterated this sentiment on his social media platform, Truth Social, asserting that his backing of Netanyahu, referred to as "Bibi," caused a significant shift in the electoral landscape. Trump claimed that his intervention transformed the situation from a potential "crushing defeat" to a "tight race" with a last-minute turnaround, possibly even a victory for Netanyahu. Trump's assertion links the altered political dynamics in Israel directly to his campaign involvement. The article notes that final election results had not yet been announced at the time of reporting, and Trump's assessment of his influence remains his own evaluation.
