In a post on Truth Social on Sunday, Trump praised the Israeli leader for being an ally of the US in its war on Iran. He added that he was giving his “Complete and Total Endorsement” to Netanyahu.

The US president’s backing comes nine days before the Israeli election — and after speculation that it might not come at all.

Trump havia recusado endossar Netanyahu no início deste mês, quando foi questionado repetidamente sobre o desempenho do líder israelense em uma entrevista com a revista Time.

Instead, when pressed by his interviewer, Trump avoided the subject, shifting the focus instead to his own popularity or security in the Middle East.

Os dois líderes se encontraram mais de meia dúzia de vezes desde janeiro de 2025, mas houve relatos de divergências, incluindo sobre a guerra contra o Irã e outros conflitos.

In June, Trump acknowledged calling Netanyahu “f***ing crazy” in a phone conversation where he expressed frustration about Israel’s attacks on Lebanon.

Trump had reportedly asked Netanyahu not to take further action in Lebanon, in an apparent attempt to preserve a short-lived April ceasefire with Iran.

The two leaders had jointly launched a war against Iran on February 28, but the conflict has cost Trump domestic support.

A guerra tem desestabilizado a oferta global de petróleo e gás, sem fim claro à vista.

A Pew Research Center poll found this month that roughly two-thirds of US voters disapprove of Trump’s handling of the war, which has driven up consumer fuel prices and raised concerns about draining military stockpiles.

O Partido Republicano de Trump enfrenta uma eleição de meio de mandato crítica em 3 de novembro que decidirá se mantém o controle do Congresso dos EUA, bem como outros cargos estaduais e locais importantes.

Experts have speculated that Trump’s prior reticence to endorse Netanyahu may have come from public perception that Israel may have coaxed the US into the war.

Netanyahu’s Likud Party and its far-right coalition are also facing the prospect of losing the October contest to an opposition bloc led by Yashar party head Gadi Eisenkot.

Em seu endosso no domingo, Trump disse que era apenas questão de tempo antes que o Irã atacasse tanto os EUA quanto Israel.

The war, Trump argued, had already left Iran “systematically destroyed, both Militarily and Financially, and unless they change their ways, rapidly, we will soon finish the job”.
