By Felo News Desk · Published
U.S. President Donald Trump reiterated his endorsement of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Oct 26, 2026, posting on his Truth Social platform that the Israeli leader is an “outstanding Warrior Prime Minister.”
What happened
In the post, Trump praised the partnership between the United States and Israel, claiming their joint military campaign – dubbed “Operation Midnight Hammer” and “Operation Epic Fury” – had severely weakened Iran’s nuclear ambitions, navy, air force, military and economy. He added that Iran’s inflation had risen to 301 % and that a U.S. naval blockade had crippled its economy. Trump concluded by urging Israeli voters to remember Netanyahu’s role when they go to the polls on Oct 27.
What the reports add
According to News18, Trump’s endorsement came days before Israel’s national election and was his second public show of support for Netanyahu in a week. An Axios report cited in the article said Netanyahu had spoken with Trump twice in the preceding three days, seeking additional public backing and suggesting language for further endorsements.
What was said
“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 on Truth Social. “As everyone is aware, including the enemy, Bibi and I have had a great relationship in winning together.” – News18
“We did Operation Midnight Hammer, stopping the World’s Number One State Sponsor of Terror from obtaining a Nuclear Weapon,” Trump added. “Then we did Operation Epic Fury, and Iran now has No Navy, No Air Force, and both their Military and Economy are in shambles.” – News18
How it came about
Trump first endorsed Netanyahu on Oct 18, 2026, calling him a “Great Warrior Prime Minister” in a capital‑letter‑filled social‑media post, as reported in Felo’s earlier coverage (see Trump endorsement of Netanyahu). The earlier endorsement was highlighted as part of Netanyahu’s campaign strategy ahead of the Oct 27 election, where polls suggest his bloc may lose its majority.
