Read the full assessment

Former US President Trump has publicly endorsed Israeli PM Netanyahu ahead of the Israeli elections, while also urging Israel to 'finish the job' in Iran. This intervention signals continued US backing for potential military action against Iran under a Trump administration, though Trump's advisors are reportedly considering post-Netanyahu scenarios. The election outcome will significantly influence US-Israel bilateral dynamics and regional policy.
