Summary

US President Donald Trump has endorsed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ahead of Israel's Oct. 27 national election, the first since Hamas's Oct. 7, 2023 attack, according to CBS News, PBS NewsHour, France 24 and the Sydney Morning Herald. The Globe and Mail says the vote is expected to be a tight race. NDTV says the election is seen as a referendum on Netanyahu. France 24 says it was unclear what impact the endorsement would have on voters, since many Israelis have expressed disappointment with Trump over the outcome of the Iran war and his ceasefire proposal. The Financial Times says the backing came after tensions between the allies.
