President Isaac Herzog has stated that external pressures, including those from U.S. President Donald Trump, will not influence his decision on who to task with forming a government. In an interview with "MS NOW," Herzog asserted that neither the U.S. President nor anyone else can interfere with his judgment, which must be based on facts. He acknowledged that significant pressure is expected regardless.
Hersog emphasized his "enormous respect" for President Trump and openness to dialogue, but reiterated that the final decision rests solely with him. He expressed a commitment to doing everything possible to prevent further elections, including promoting a unity government that would involve Benjamin Netanyahu and Gadi Eisenkot, but exclude leaders of extremist parties. However, he admitted uncertainty about the feasibility of such a government.
Herzog's remarks come amid public support for Netanyahu from Trump. Earlier in the day, Trump reiterated his endorsement of Netanyahu, sharing a previous statement of support and highlighting their "excellent relationship." Trump also referenced military and strategic achievements during his administration, including operations in Venezuela and against Iran, which he claimed prevented Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons and crippled its naval and air forces.
This is not the first time Trump has reportedly pressured Herzog. The U.S. President has previously called on Herzog to grant a pardon to Prime Minister Netanyahu in his ongoing trial, a request that has so far been denied.
