US President Donald Trump endorsed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday, nine days before Israel’s October 27 parliamentary election.
In a Truth Social post addressed to Israelis, Trump gave Netanyahu his “Complete and Total Endorsement,” calling him a “Great Warrior Prime Minister” and praising him as a partner in the US-Israeli war against Iran. Netanyahu thanked Trump on X, writing: “Together we will complete the mission!”
The endorsement came after Trump had recently declined to publicly back Netanyahu, amid reports of disagreements between the two leaders over military operations in Iran, Gaza and Lebanon. Trump told Axios on Sunday that he had always intended to endorse Netanyahu but “didn’t want to do it too soon.”
Netanyahu’s Likud party and its right-wing allies face a close contest against an opposition bloc led by Gadi Eisenkot. Polling cited by Dawn indicates that no candidate has a clear path to power. Israeli voters elect parliament, after which parties negotiate to form a governing coalition and select the prime minister.
The vote will be Israel’s first national election since the Hamas-led attack of October 7, 2023, and the subsequent wars involving Gaza, Lebanon and Iran. Despite the election’s consequences for Netanyahu’s political future, The Japan Times reported unusually subdued campaigning and widespread voter fatigue, with relatively few rallies or campaign posters compared with earlier periods of mass political mobilization.
