Donald Trump Claims Endorsement Saved Benjamin Netanyahu in Election
Donald Trump claims his endorsement of Benjamin Netanyahu shifted momentum and prevented a decisive defeat in the 26th Knesset election.
United States President Donald Trump claimed his endorsement of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu shifted the momentum of the 26th Knesset election. Following the vote on Wednesday morning, Trump stated on Truth Social and during a press interaction by Air Force One that the endorsement helped Netanyahu avoid a decisive defeat.
Trump noted that while early results appeared close, reports from Israel suggested Netanyahu performed better than expected, potentially resulting in a stalemate or a victory. He cited comments from Irving C. Schwartz to support the claim that the election tide turned specifically after his endorsement.
