President Donald Trump<\/a> is supporting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his Likud Party in the Oct. 27 Knesset elections, urging Israel voters to pick the man he called a “great warrior” and U.S. “partner for peace” amid the multi-front war on Iran and its nuclear weapons aspirations.
“I have watched Bibi under the most trying of times,” Trump wrote Sunday morning in a full-throated endorsement of the Likud leader. “Normal men or women in such situations would have wilted under the pressure \u2014 But Bibi did not wilt, he actually got stronger, and maintains that same Strength today.”
“This is the kind of Partner that the United States of America is demanding of Israel, a Country for which it has done so much,” Trump added. “Please let this Letter serve to represent my Complete and Total Endorsement of Bibi Netanyahu in his upcoming Race for Re-election as Prime Minister of Israel.”
