Israeli opposition warns Trump: 'Stay out of our elections'
Ynet News (Israel)

Senior figures in parties opposed to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, along with opposition leaders, have approached individuals linked to US President Donald Trump, urging them to press him not to intervene in Israel’s upcoming elections. They fear he could step in and support Netanyahu against rival candidates.

Outreach was made, among others, to businesswoman Miriam Adelson, a close Trump ally and one of his largest donors, who has held significant influence over him and pressed him on efforts to secure the return of hostages from the Gaza Strip. Additional appeals were made to other senior US figures tied to the administration, asking them to convey the message that "one should not interfere in the internal affairs of a sovereign state."

1. That's kind of a joke

Stay out of our politics, Israel.

2. Don't fall into the trap of believing ...

... that Israelis are all following the same orders.

These are leftists like us.

3. I'll believe they are on the left

If they advocate for ending genocide, expansionism and forever wars. Otherwise, it’s two sides of the same coin, with a socially liberal bent.

5. The main "opposition" leader

"Biblical" Expansion: In early 2026, Lapid expressed support for maximizing Israel's borders to a "biblical" scale, stating, "I support anything that will allow the Jews a large, broad, strong land," potentially as far as Iraq, if security conditions permit.
