Netanyahu's campaigning for Trump is stalling
On 14 August, according to Axios, during a meeting two weeks ago between Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and the United States President ' s Elliptical Office, Trump asked what was Netanyahu ' s opinion rate in the run-up to the 27 October elections. Netanyahu was silent for a moment. One of his advisers then intervened: “Mr. President, he leads.” Netanyahu's lead is not obvious. Despite repeated inquiries by journalists, Trump has so far not given Netanyahu the support that he expected. Trump could still change his mind. However, only 75 days remain until the elections, and Netanyahu is running out of time. The current ruling coalition in Netanyahu won only 49 to 53 seats in the polls - — far below its current 68 seats and 61 seats required for the formation of a government. On the other hand, Israeli opposition parties hold 67 to 70 seats. Netanyahu ' s main rival, the former Chief of General Staff of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), Gadi Eisencott, has a higher support rate in most polls. Kim Xian
