Trump's partner: How the White House views the elections

The White House is closely monitoring the elections in Israel; Trump supports Netanyahu, while his deputy is reserved. Internal polls predict a tight race against Eisenkot, but betting sites forecast him a victory. The central question: who will be Trump's partner in the region.

The White House is closely monitoring the elections in Israel, as revealed by News 14 reporter Libi Alon. According to her, for the US administration, it is not just about who will lead the government, but the identity of the future partner of US President Donald Trump in advancing regional moves. Alon noted that Trump openly supports Netanyahu and even called on Israelis to vote for him, but Vice President J.D. Vance refrained from expressing similar support, saying he does not intend to interfere in elections in other countries. According to the report, internal White House polls predict a very tight race, even a tie between Netanyahu and Eisenkot. In contrast, the betting site Polymarket gives Eisenkot a 67% chance of winning versus 28% for Netanyahu.
