President Trump endorses Netanyahu for re election

Ryan Schmelz holds up a printout addressed "To the Great People of Israel," then reads President Donald Trump's appeal for voters to return Benjamin Netanyahu to office.

The endorsement, posted Sunday on Truth Social, praises the Israeli prime minister as a partner against Iran. Trump argues that choosing anyone else would leave the United States having to take on work Netanyahu would otherwise do. That is Trump's case for the endorsement, delivered through a written statement rather than a joint appearance or campaign interview.

LiveNOW from FOX's Short drew about 141,000 views in seven hours, already several times the channel's usual full-day audience for that format.

As the statement fills the screen, Schmelz continues through Trump's praise of Netanyahu's resilience under pressure before reaching the formal declaration of his "complete and total endorsement." The segment centers on the president's message, without a response from Netanyahu or an opposing candidate.
