“As everyone is aware, including the enemy, Bibi and I have had a great relationship in winning together,” Trump wrote.

President Donald Trump made another direct appeal to Israeli voters on Sunday, urging them to reelect Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and arguing that the two leaders must remain in power to complete their campaign against Iran.
The message, issued just two days before Israelis head to the polls, marked Trump’s second high-profile endorsement of Netanyahu in little more than a week.
“To the people of Israel, to those who haven’t seen it, I am attaching the Endorsement I gave one week ago to your Prime Minister, Bibi Netanyahu,” Trump wrote.
“As everyone is aware, including the enemy, Bibi and I have had a great relationship in winning together.”
Trump centered much of his appeal on the joint American-Israeli campaign against Iran, portraying the damage inflicted on Tehran as one of the defining achievements of his partnership with Netanyahu.
“We did Operation Midnight Hammer, stopping the World’s Number One State Sponsor of Terror from obtaining a Nuclear Weapon,” Trump wrote.
He said Iran had been left without a functioning navy or air force, with its military and economy devastated and much of its leadership eliminated. Trump also pointed to the U.S.-led naval blockade of Iran as another example of the pressure being brought against Tehran.
Trump then explicitly connected those achievements to Tuesday’s vote.
“When you go to the Polls please remember that Bibi has been an outstanding Warrior Prime Minister!” he wrote.
The president also invoked Iran’s longstanding threats against both countries, referring to the regime’s characterization of Israel as the “Little Satan” and the United States as the “Big Satan.”
“There can no longer be the chant heard around the World of ‘Death to America, Death to Israel,’ and there won’t be,” Trump declared.
He concluded with an unmistakable appeal to Israeli voters.
“Vote for Bibi Netanyahu for Prime Minister, we have to finish the job that we started!”
Trump’s latest message follows his endorsement of Netanyahu last week, when he described the prime minister as a “Great Warrior” and gave him his “Complete and Total Endorsement.”
Netanyahu responded at the time by thanking Trump for his support.
“Thank you, President Trump, for the tremendous support and our work together,” Netanyahu wrote. “Together, we will finish the job!”
Trump’s renewed appeal comes as Israel enters the final stretch of campaigning ahead of Tuesday’s election, with Netanyahu seeking another term as prime minister.
