Netanyahu to run in upcoming election despite Trump’s comments, Likud says
Following comments from US President Donald Trump, Israel's Likud party announced on Wednesday that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu intends to run in the next election, according to Haaretz.
Netanyahu will run in the upcoming election and "will win, God willing," the party said in a statement.
Speaking to ABC News's chief Washington correspondent on Monday, Trump said it was unclear whether Netanyahu "even wants to continue" in his role as prime minister.
"I don't know, he's had an amazing career," he said.
"Does he want to continue? Because, you know, he's a wartime prime minister."
