Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu again addressed the support expressed by U.S. President Donald Trump ahead of the elections, claiming that "there is another mission to complete" vis-à-vis Iran. He argued that Israelis should choose him "in order to complete in the next two years, and perhaps before that, the elimination of the Iranian threat. I am telling you, citizens of Israel, this is the greatest consideration. All other things, there are important matters, but this is our existence."
