U.S. President Donald Trump publicly endorsed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ahead of Israel’s upcoming election, describing him as the best partner for the United States, according to The New York Times.

Netanyahu thanked Trump during a phone call, a video of which was released by the prime minister’s office on Monday. “Donald, we have a job to finish. You said it, and we will finish it together,” Netanyahu said, according to Middle East Eye.

Netanyahu also praised Trump as “by far the greatest friend Israel ever had and will have in the White House.” The endorsement comes during what The New York Times described as a tight Israeli election campaign.
