Trump has endorsed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, marking a shift from his earlier reluctance to fully support the Israeli leader's election campaign, Al Jazeera English reported. The endorsement comes as questions mount over whether the United States is coordinating with Israel on a potential military strike against Iran.
The timing of Trump's public backing coincides with heightened regional tensions and speculation about Israeli military plans. Trump's previous hesitation to campaign for Netanyahu has given way to closer alignment between the two leaders.
