Donald Trump, former US president, expressed support for Benjamin Netanyahu on the Truth Social platform, urging people to vote. Trump said Netanyahu's victory would help "finish what they started," referring to the war policy with the Islamic Republic. Conversely, polls in the US show a majority of citizens distrust Netanyahu and his government. This situation reveals a major difference in the bilateral relations over policy against the Islamic Republic. Additionally, there are reports of disagreement within Israel over a possible attack on the Islamic Republic before the elections.
