Story summary

On October 18, 2026, US President Donald Trump endorsed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for reelection on Truth Social. Trump praised Netanyahu as "a Great Warrior Prime Minister" and essential in combating Iran. The endorsement came just days before Israel's national election on October 27, its first since Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, 2023, leading to a series of military conflicts with Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran. Despite their diverging strategies on the Middle East, Trump’s support is seen as crucial for Netanyahu due to Trump's popularity in Israel. Netanyahu thanked Trump for his "tremendous support," and Likud attached a video showing clips of both leaders together.

Why this leaning score

This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
