Trump Credits Endorsement for Netanyahu's Election Performance, Prefers Coalition Without Far-Right Ministers
US President Donald Trump credited his endorsement for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's stronger-than-expected performance in Israel's recent parliamentary elections, suggesting it shifted the race's momentum. Netanyahu's right-wing Likud party and allied factions led with around 55 seats against the opposition's 49, with Arab parties holding 16 seats. Trump also expressed a preference for a coalition excluding far-right ministers Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich, citing concerns over settler violence affecting regional strategy. Vote counting and coalition negotiations continue amid a tightly contested election.
