As Israel approaches its national election, President Trump has publicly signaled his support for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. This endorsement, issued on Sunday after a period of hesitation, aligns with the administration's history of working exclusively with Netanyahu during Trump's presidency. However, internal discussions among Trump’s advisers suggest that the administration is not entirely wedded to the current Prime Minister.

According to U.S. officials, some advisers believe that a change in Israeli leadership could potentially offer new opportunities for the President’s Middle East agenda. The administration has never engaged with other Israeli political figures, leading to uncertainty regarding how a different government would interact with the White House. One adviser characterized the President’s current stance toward Netanyahu as viewing him as "the devil he knows," highlighting the turbulent yet established nature of their partnership. While the official White House position remains supportive of Netanyahu, the existence of these internal deliberations indicates that the administration is preparing for the possibility of a political transition in Israel.
