What happened
The outlets' own sentences, most widely reported first. Hover or tap one to see who reported it.
Trump remains popular in Israel; however, many Israelis, including leading commentators, have voiced disappointment over the inconclusive outcome of the Iran war and over Trump’s ceasefire proposal, which fell short of many of the key goals the two countries had set when they jointly launched the war in February.
“Bibi Netanyahu has been a Great Warrior Prime Minister, and an even greater Partner for Peace in combatting the Islamic Republic of Iran,” Trump said in his post, uploaded in the early hours of Monday Australian time.
Israel will hold a national election on Oct 27, its first vote since the Hamas attack on Oct 7, 2023 that shook the country and plunged the Middle East into turmoil, as Israel went to war in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran.
Netanyahu's Likud Party attached to the statement a 35-second video showing clips of the two leaders together and Mr. Trump praising the prime minister.
