The President of the United States (USA), Donald Trump, today expressed his support for Benjamin Netanyahu’s candidacy for re-election as Prime Minister of Israel.
In a post on social media, Trump stated that Netanyahu “was a great warrior-prime minister, and an even greater partner in peace, when it comes to the fight against the Islamic Republic of Iran.”
Parliamentary elections in Israel are scheduled for Tuesday, October 27, and these are the first national elections since the start of the war in the Gaza Strip in 2023.
Netanyahu is running on the list of his Likud party, which he has led since 2005, and he has highlighted his close ties with Trump as an asset for remaining in power.
