Netanyahu's request to Trump for additional public support before the elections in Israel According to Ferraro, Barak Ravid, a Channel 12 reporter in Israel, claimed that Benjamin Netanyahu asked Donald Trump to show him additional public support before the elections on October 27. According to Ravid, Netanyahu spoke with Trump twice in the last three days and suggested that the American president speak directly with Israeli journalists. An American official defined these repeated requests as a "sign of desperation" from the point of view of the White House and said that Netanyahu is worried about his electoral role. Trump supported Netanyahu last Sunday, but according to Ravid, some of his advisers believe that another government in Israel might cooperate more with Washington to advance the agenda in the Middle East.
