- Trump endorsed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday, with the endorsement landing nine days ahead of Israel's Oct. 27 elections.
- Netanyahu is engaged in a fight for political survival, and Axios frames the endorsement as a potential boost at what it calls a critical moment in that contest.
Why it matters: A sitting U.S. president publicly endorsing a foreign leader with just nine days until that country's election is an unusually overt intervention in a domestic Israeli race, giving Netanyahu a high-profile endorsement at the most visible point of the campaign.
