President Trump said he supports Benjamin Netanyahu's bid for re-election,
calling him a strong wartime leader and a superior partner against Iran. Trump
asserted Iran's military and financial capabilities have been systematically
degraded and warned that unless Tehran changes course quickly, the United States
will finish the job. He added that if Israel elects a leader other than
Netanyahu, the US would have to act directly — which he said he does not want —
and reiterated his full support for Netanyahu's re-election.
