Netanyahu welcomes Trump's election victory as potential boost for Israel's military efforts
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed excitement over Donald Trump's election victory, viewing it as a chance for stronger U.S. support amid ongoing conflicts in Gaza and Lebanon. Netanyahu anticipates increased military aid and freedom to act against perceived threats.
Netanyahu's recent dismissal of his defense minister has raised concerns, as the minister was seen as a moderating influence. Protests erupted in Israel following the firing, reflecting public discontent with Netanyahu's leadership during the war.
In Gaza, reactions to Trump's win are mixed. Some believe he may pressure Netanyahu to end the fighting, while others fear his presidency could worsen the situation for Palestinians. The humanitarian crisis continues, with limited aid reaching the region.
