Netanyahu Touts Trump Endorsement Ahead of Israeli Election, Suggests Restarting War on Iran Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has highlighted an endorsement from former US President Donald Trump on the eve of the country's election, suggesting that the two leaders could restart military operations against Iran if he wins. Netanyahu made the comments in a televised address late on Sunday night, praising Trump's support and implying that it could be a decisive factor in the election. Trump had launched a joint campaign against Iran alongside Netanyahu in February and has since expressed his support for Netanyahu's re-election. In a social media post, Trump wrote, "Vote for Bibi Netanyahu for Prime Minister, we have to finish the job that we started in the heart of Tel Aviv." The endorsement is significant, given the domestic political implications in Washington, where Republicans are battling to maintain control of Congress in next week's legislative elections. The campaign against Iran has faced criticism in the United States, with voters linking it to increased energy and consumer costs. Large-scale military operations against Iran have been paused for months following ceasefire talks, which were conducted without Israeli representation.
