  • Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will seek re-election, his Likud party confirmed.
  • The confirmation follows remarks by U.S. President Donald Trump questioning Netanyahu's desire to continue as prime minister.
  • Elections must be called in Israel by October 27, though no specific date has been set.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will run for re-election in the upcoming polls, his Likud party confirmed on Wednesday. The announcement came after U.S. President Donald Trump cast doubt on Netanyahu's intention to continue in the role. In a statement released through its official channels, the Likud party declared, "Netanyahu will run in the next elections and, with God's help, will win." This response directly addressed comments made by Trump during an interview with ABC News. Trump had stated, "I don't know, he's had an incredible career. Does he want to continue? Because, you know, he's a wartime prime minister. We're going to win the war very soon, one way or the other, and you know he's a wartime prime minister." While no specific date has been set for the elections, they are constitutionally required to be called no later than October 27. The political landscape in Israel remains dynamic as the country navigates wartime conditions.

Netanyahu will run in the next elections and, with God's help, will win.
