Trump urges Israelis to vote Netanyahu, says 'finish the job'

newsbomb.gr (Greek) — October 26, 2026 at 02:01 AM UTC

US President Donald Trump urged Israelis to vote for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Tuesday's election, saying they must "finish the job we started." Trump reiterated his support hours before polls opened, citing their cooperation in the war against Iran. Trump praised Netanyahu as an "excellent warrior prime minister" in a Truth Social post, referencing the Midnight Hammer and Epic Fury operations. He claimed these military actions have significantly damaged Iran's capabilities and economy, though these assertions are his own. This marks Trump's second public endorsement of Netanyahu within a week, following his October 18 statement of "full and absolute support." The election is Israel's first since the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack and subsequent wars in Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran.
