Trump Credits Endorsement for Netanyahu's Election Performance Amid Tight Israeli Vote
US President Donald Trump credited his endorsement for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's stronger-than-expected performance in Israel's closely contested parliamentary election. While Netanyahu's bloc leads with around 53-55 seats, neither side has secured a majority in the 120-seat Knesset. Trump also expressed hope for a coalition excluding far-right ministers Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich, citing concerns over settler violence. The final results remain pending as Israel counts remaining ballots, including those from soldiers and diplomats, which could affect seat distribution but not the overall balance of power.
