President Donald Trump endorsed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday, nine days before Israel's Oct. 27 elections. Trump's intervention aims to bolster Netanyahu's political survival as most polls indicate his coalition is short of the 61 seats required to form a government.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump argued that if Israel chose a leader other than Netanyahu, the United States would be forced to conduct work in Iran itself, a task he said he was not inclined to perform. He described Netanyahu as the specific type of partner the United States demands from Israel.

Trump stated that his written letter serves as his full support for Netanyahu's campaign to win another term as prime minister. The endorsement lands at a critical juncture for the Israeli leader, who faces an election where his current standing appears precarious according to available polling data.
