The recent Israeli election was a pivotal moment in the country's political landscape. With a high turnout among Palestinian voters, the election served as a significant test for the ruling Likud party, led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. However, the results did not go as expected, as the party appeared to have failed to gain a majority in parliament. This outcome set the stage for intense political accusations.
Following the election, the Likud party issued a statement accusing Arab-led parties of 'stealing' the election. According to the party, Arab parties were guilty of 'serious criminal offences' that included the use of illegal software, bribery, and violence. These allegations were accompanied by the submission of evidence to law enforcement and the Central Elections Committee, with the party demanding immediate investigations.

President Trump reshared a post that says Trump’s endorsement of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu turned the tide of the Israeli election. 🇮🇱 🇮🇷 Before his October 18 endorsement, every major poll had Netanyahu losing. Eisenkot’s Yashar party was consistently outpolling Likud, the opposition bloc was projected to win comfortably, and the Israeli media consensus was that Netanyahu’s career was effectively over. Something changed in the final stretch, and the most significant thing that happened in that window was Trump’s endorsement. Trump did not just say vote for Netanyahu, he told Israeli voters, in plain language, that the United States would finish the job against Iran with Netanyahu.
