Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu released a special video Sunday evening following a public endorsement from former U.S. President Donald Trump for his premiership. In the video, Netanyahu directly addressed undecided voters, urging them to "listen carefully" to Trump's remarks.

Netanyahu stated that Trump had given him "unreserved support" and explained that "wonderful things" were accomplished together, including "striking Iran and the Iranian axis, and pushing away the immediate threat of nuclear bombs on us." The Prime Minister emphasized that the partnership with the U.S. administration was not solely based on past achievements.

According to Netanyahu, Trump clarified that completing the campaign against Iran and eliminating the Iranian threat within the next two years would only be possible under his leadership. Netanyahu quoted Trump as saying, "I cannot do this with anyone else." The Prime Minister concluded his appeal by calling this the "greatest consideration" and essential for "Israel's eternity."

Netanyahu asked the public to vote for the Likud party, stating that Trump would only act if they worked together. Trump's declaration and Netanyahu's swift response have intensified the political atmosphere, with the issue of security and political coordination against Iran and relations with Washington taking center stage in the crucial days before the vote.
