Former US President Donald Trump has endorsed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu just nine days before the October 27 Israeli election, stating that Netanyahu “will never let you down.” Trump’s statement carries significant political weight as it suggests potential consequences for US-Israel relations should alternative leadership take control.

In his endorsement, Trump warned that the United States could face Iran alone if Netanyahu loses the election, framing the choice as consequential for American security interests. This intervention by a leading US political figure represents a notable foreign interference in Israeli electoral politics.

The timing of the endorsement, coming days before the election, underscores the significance Trump places on Netanyahu’s continued leadership and his concerns about potential policy shifts under alternative Israeli governments.
