Trump’s Early Endorsement of Netanyahu Driven by Personal Loyalty and Strategic Ambitions, Analysis Suggests

According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, …

The Israeli newspaper Haaretz has emphasized in a report that U.S. President Donald Trump‘s message of support for Benjamin Netanyahu is primarily driven by personal backing for the Israeli prime minister. Trump, known for his aversion to perceived “losers,” made an unconventional move by declaring his early support for Netanyahu, particularly as his ally, the Prime Minister of Hungary, recently faced electoral defeat.

This report suggests that Trump’s endorsement of Netanyahu might be linked to the U.S. President’s inclination towards reigniting conflict in the region. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz has led to a significant increase in living costs and a decline in his popularity. Trump has previously indicated in his political stances that he dislikes losing and typically refrains from supporting candidates he believes are likely to lose, even if their interests align with his.

He usually waits until the last moment to assess poll results before offering his support. Furthermore, Trump harbors a long-standing resentment towards Netanyahu for congratulating Joe Biden on his election victory, a sentiment that has not been forgotten.
