US President Donald Trump said that his support helped Israeli Benjamin Netanyahu perform better than expected in the Israeli parliamentary elections, adding that even a tie with the opposition could be considered a victory for Netanyahu. With 48% of the votes counted, preliminary results predicted 55 mandates for the Netanyahu bloc, compared to 50 for the opposition led by Gadi Eisenkot. Trump publicly endorsed Netanyahu on October 18, amid mounting political pressure over Israel's genocide in Gaza.
