Israeli election is approaching, Trump issued a message supporting Netanyahu's re-election as Israeli Prime Minister

China News Service, October 19. According to comprehensive foreign media reports, on the 18th local time, US President Trump posted a message on the "Real Social" platform, publicly expressing his support for Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and supporting his re-election in Israel's upcoming general election.

Trump said Netanyahu is not only a "warrior prime minister" but also a "peace partner" committed to confronting Iran. Iran has long chanted "Destroy Israel and destroy the United States" and claims that Iran has been systematically attacked militarily and economically. 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 that despite facing tremendous pressure and opposition from within Israel, "Netanyahu performed strong, brave and outstanding" and "not only persisted, but actually succeeded."

Trump said the open 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!"

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu later issued a brief statement on social media to express his gratitude to US President Trump for his support. Netanyahu emphasized that both sides will continue to work together to complete the task.

Israeli parliamentary elections are scheduled for October 27. According to Israeli media, this will be the first time in the past 40 years that Israel will hold parliamentary elections as planned rather than in advance.

Gadi Eisenkot, leader of the Israel Integrity Party and former Chief of Staff of the Defense Forces, officially announced the launch of the parliamentary campaign on June 30. Previous polls have shown that the Integrity Party's support rate is close to that of the Likud Group. Prime Ministers Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid had formed a coalition party called Unity two years ago that also sought to defeat Netanyahu.
