WASHINGTON — U.S. President Donald Trump endorsed his ally Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday for the upcoming Israeli parliamentary election.

\n\n

“Bibi ⁠Netanyahu has been Strong, Brave, and Brilliant in the face of tremendous opposition, including that coming from even Israel, itself,” ⁠Trump wrote in ​a post ⁠on Truth Social.

\n\n

“This is the kind of Partner that ⁠the United States of America is demanding ​of ⁠Israel, a Country ‌for which it has done so much. Please let this Letter serve to ‌represent my Complete and Total ‌Endorsement of Bibi Netanyahu in his upcoming Race for Re-Election as Prime Minister of Israel.”

\n\n

Israel ⁠will hold a national election on Oct. 27, its first vote since the Hamas-led attack on Oct. 7, 2023, that shook the country and plunged the Middle East into turmoil, as ‌Israel went to war in Gaza, ​Lebanon and Iran.

\n\n

The election will ‌determine whether Netanyahu ⁠remains in power after one of ⁠the most consequential periods in Israel’s history, or is ‌defeated by ​centrist rivals promising ‌to usher in a ​new era.

\n\n

It is not typical for U.S. presidents to make explicit endorsements in foreign elections, but Trump has done so on a number of occasions.
