President Donald Trump endorsed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for reelection in a post on Truth Social, nine days before the Israeli parliamentary election

Israel held national elections on 27 October 2026, the first since the Hamas-led attacks of 7 October 2023, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's leadership, his corruption trial and security failures at the centre of the campaign. Counting on 28 October showed Netanyahu's bloc on 53 seats, Gadi Eisenkot's bloc on 48 and Arab parties on 19, leaving neither side with the 61 needed for a majority. Official final results are expected on 4 November and may still change.

President Trump backed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's campaign for another term on October 18, 2026, nine days before Israel's October 27 election, describing him as the United States' top partner. Most polls placed Netanyahu's coalition under the 61-seat threshold for creating a government, making Trump's intervention potentially consequential.
