Trump Claims Netanyahu’s Success Even as Israel Vote Remains Unsettled
Trump said his backing helped turn Netanyahu’s election into a comeback, as exit polls showed Likud leading but short of a clear majority.
- President Donald Trump claimed his endorsement of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu transformed the Israeli election results, pointing to Likud emerging as the largest faction in the Knesset.
- Tuesday's election left a complicated political situation, as neither Netanyahu's bloc nor the opposition appears to have a clear path to the 61 seats required to form a government.
- Trump shared a Truth Social post credited to Irving C. Schwartz, stating the endorsement turned a "decisive defeat" into a "WIN for Netanyahu," with the opposition holding 52 or 53 seats.
- Netanyahu must now translate Likud's electoral strength into a governing coalition, requiring sufficient parliamentary support to remain in power as coalition partners may lack the seats to secure a majority.
- No definitive evidence has established the endorsement was responsible for the electoral shift, and it remains unclear how much Trump's support actually affected Israeli voters during the closely contested election.
