Summary
President Trump publicly endorsed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's reelection bid on Sunday in a Truth Social post, calling him a "Great Warrior Prime Minister" and giving his "Complete and Total Endorsement." Trump said any other Israeli leader would be the "wrong Leader" and that without Netanyahu, the U.S. would have to confront Iran itself. The endorsement comes nine days before Israel's October 27 elections, the first since the 2023 Hamas attack.
