Trump Endorses Netanyahu Again With Two Days Until Israeli Election

Trump's endorsement highlighted his excellent relationship and shared successes with Netanyahu. He cited past military operations, including actions in Venezuela and operations that he claimed prevented Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, leaving its military and economy in ruins. Trump asserted that under his administration, Iran's navy and air force were decimated, its leadership was eliminated, and its economy was crushed with a 301 percent inflation rate due to a naval blockade.

According to reports, Netanyahu had intensely pressured Trump in recent days to increase his public backing. However, the Likud party vehemently denied these claims, stating that Netanyahu has not requested any support from Trump now or in the past. In response to the endorsement, political rival Gadi Eisenkot acknowledged Trump as a friend of Israel but pledged that he would cooperate with any elected leader.
