U.S. President Donald Trump discussed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's political standing in a brief interview with Axios correspondent Barak Ravid. Trump initially received concerning reports about Netanyahu's chances but stated the current picture is much improved, with Netanyahu in a strong position. The President acknowledged that his public support for Netanyahu may have significantly helped his campaign.
When asked about actively intervening in efforts to form a unity government led by Netanyahu, Trump indicated he had not yet considered it but would examine the issue later. These remarks come less than a day after Israeli elections, where no bloc secured the 61 mandates needed for a majority. However, Netanyahu's bloc appears to hold a slight lead over the "change bloc" when excluding Arab parties.
Trump had previously issued two public statements of support for Netanyahu during the election campaign. Following the election, Trump posted on Truth Social, claiming his public endorsement of Netanyahu narrowed the dramatic gap in the polls. The post suggested that Trump's support shifted the trend from a potential crushing defeat to a dramatic tie or even a Netanyahu victory.
During a campaign rally in Texas, Trump also addressed the Iranian threat, stating the U.S. is in a strong position regarding Iran and that the question is when he chooses to conclude matters. He detailed economic and military damage inflicted on Iran, asserting their military and economy were "crushed." When questioned about a potential military strike, Trump stated, "I cannot say, but everything is possible."
