Story summary

On October 18, 2026, US President Donald Trump endorsed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Truth Social ahead of Israel's parliamentary election scheduled for October 27. Trump praised Netanyahu as a "Great Warrior Prime Minister" and an essential ally in combatting Iran. However, a poll by Channel 12 TV station on October 20 found that Trump’s endorsement had little to no effect on voter intentions and may have even damaged Netanyahu's chances; the survey showed Netanyahu's Likud party receiving only 21 of Parliament’s 120 seats compared to 24 for Yeshar, led by main challenger Gadi Eisenkot.
