Trump endorses Netanyahu before Israel's Oct. 27 election, says otherwise America would have to 'do this work ourselves'
President Trump on Sunday gave his 'Complete and Total Endorsement' to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his Likud Party ahead of Israel's Oct. 27 Knesset elections, calling him a 'great warrior,' Fox News reported. 'If Israel has the wrong leader, which would be anyone other than Bibi, America will have to do this work ourselves, and I am not inclined to do so,' Trump wrote, and Netanyahu replied, 'Together, we will complete the mission.' Current forecasts put Netanyahu's right-religious bloc at about 49 to 51 seats, short of the 61 needed to govern, Fox reported.
