Donald Trump claims credit for Benjamin Netanyahu's result. He quotes a statement.

On Tuesday, Israel held parliamentary elections where Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party aimed to maintain power. Donald Trump stated that Netanyahu's support from him was crucial for the election outcome, suggesting it shifted the situation from a potential defeat to a close race or even a victory for Netanyahu. The elections featured two main blocs: Netanyahu's coalition and opponents led by former army chief Gadi Eisenkot. Exit polls indicated that neither bloc secured a majority, with Netanyahu's bloc projected to win 55 seats, the opposition 50, and Arab parties 15, though results may still change.
