Why It Matters
Trump issued an open letter on the real social platform, supporting Netanyahu's re-election as Israeli Prime Minister, saying that Iran has long threatened Israel and the United States, and warned that the United States will take action if Iran does not change its approach.
U.S. President Trump published an open letter to the Israeli people on the "Real Social" platform on October 18, fully supporting Netanyahu's re-election as Israeli Prime Minister.
Trump said that Iran has been chanting "Destroy Israel and destroy the United States" for a long time, and said that Iran has been systematically attacked militarily and economically. He warned that if Iran does not change its approach quickly, the United States will soon complete relevant actions. Trump also said that if Israel had the wrong leader, someone other than Netanyahu, the United States might have to do the job itself, which he himself is not inclined to do.
Trump said Netanyahu was strong, brave and outstanding despite facing tremendous pressure and opposition from within Israel. He said the letter was intended to express his "complete and comprehensive support" for Netanyahu's re-election as Israeli prime minister, adding: "Netanyahu will never let you down!"
Shortly after Trump issued this open letter, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a brief statement on social media later that day, expressing his gratitude to US President Trump for supporting his victory in the upcoming parliamentary election. Netanyahu thanked Trump in the statement, expressed his gratitude for his tremendous support, and spoke highly of the close cooperation between the two sides. Netanyahu also emphasized that the two sides will continue to work together to complete the task.
