Trump endorses Netanyahu ahead of Tuesday's Israeli election

President Trump endorsed Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday ahead of Tuesday's Israeli election, after weeks of hesitation, and suggested a Netanyahu defeat would have consequences for U.S.-Israel relations. U.S. officials told Axios that some Trump advisers see opportunity for his Middle East agenda regardless of outcome: a win lets Trump claim credit for Netanyahu's political survival, while a loss would still leave new Israeli leaders motivated to cultivate ties with Trump.
