Trump endorses Netanyahu ahead of Israel's Oct. 27 election

President Trump endorsed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a social media post on Sunday, nine days before Israelis vote.

Posted Updated (14 d ago)

President Trump endorsed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday in a Truth Social post addressed to "the Great People of Israel." Israelis vote on Oct. 27.

The Hill reports Trump called Netanyahu "Bibi" and a warrior prime minister. NPR reports Trump also described him as an even greater partner for peace in the fight against the Islamic Republic of Iran. Al Jazeera says Trump called him "Strong, Brave, and Brilliant."

The New York Times reports Trump praised Netanyahu's endurance and said any other candidate would be the "wrong Leader." The Times calls the race tight. It, PBS and NPR describe Netanyahu as embattled.

Deutsche Welle reports that polls show Netanyahu and his far-right partners currently lack a majority to win a new term.

CBS News and PBS say it is the first national election since Hamas attacked Israel on Oct. 7, 2023.

France 24 says the effect on voters is unclear. It reports many Israelis are disappointed with Trump over the outcome of the Iran war and his ceasefire proposal.
