Netanyahu’s Trump Blitz: 2 Calls in 3 Days as Israel Votes Tuesday

(MENAFN) The White House regards Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s intense push for campaign backing as a “sign of desperation” days before Israel’s parliamentary elections on Tuesday, a US news website reported Sunday.

Citing a US source familiar with the matter, the outlet said American officials read the “aggressive” lobbying as a signal that the Israeli leader believes he is behind in the race.

Netanyahu reportedly spoke twice in three days with US President Donald Trump, pressing him to bolster the endorsement he gave last week. He also suggested specific wording for it, the outlet said, while giving phone interviews to Israeli journalists.

The prime minister is facing a difficult contest against opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot. Final television polls released Friday show Netanyahu’s coalition well short of a majority.
