TEL AVIV: Benjamin Netanyahu will seek re-election this year, his party announced on Wednesday, after US President Donald Trump said he wasn’t sure if the Israeli prime minister would stand again.
In a brief statement, Netanyahu’s Likud Party said he would run in the election and, God willing, he would win. The election has not yet been formally announced but must be held by October.
Earlier, ABC News Chief Washington Correspondent Jonathan Karl posted on X that Trump had told him he did not know if Netanyahu would stand.
“I don’t know, he’s had an amazing career. Does he want to continue?” the journalist quoted Trump as saying.
The Israeli election will be the first since the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack, the country’s worst security failure, which precipitated Israel’s assault on the Gaza Strip.

Netanyahu plans 'broad national govt' after Israel vote
Israel's Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahudeclared his intention Saturday to form a broader coalition after the upcoming election, explicitly distancing himself from both the far-right and the left.
Netanyahu, the country's longest serving prime minister across multiple terms, has already announced that he plans to run in the national elections to be held no later than October 27.
"I intend to establish a broad national government, not a right-wing government, not a left-wing government that depends on Arab parties, but a broad national government," Netanyahu said, in a televised briefing, signalling a significant shift in his political strategy.
"Because only in this way, I think, can we reach internal agreements ... It means, first of all: enough with boycotts. I am not boycotting anyone. I say, everyone will be able to join; they simply need to agree to our basic principles, that Israel is the nation-state of the Jewish people and that we respect individual rights," he added.
Netanyahu's remarks come as he himself -- currently heading one of the most right wing government in Israel's history -- has been polling badly in…

Netanyahu is Israel's longest-serving prime minister and leads a right-wing government in which several ultranationalists hold ministerial positions.
Netanyahu's bid for re-election as leader of the right-wing conservative Likud party was announced just over two weeks ago. On Saturday, he signaled a shift in government partnerships ahead of the October 27 parliamentary elections.
"I intend to form a broad national government. Not a right-wing government, not a left-wing government that depends on Arab parties, but a broad national government," Netanyahu said at a press conference.
A recent opinion poll shows that a majority wants Netanyahu to leave office.
