US President Donald Trump has claimed that his endorsement reversed Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu's possible "defeat".
"When President Trump endorsed Bibi Netanyahu, the whole tide turned, and now, rather than a decisive defeat for a Great Prime Minister, it looks like a big come-from-behind stalemate, or even a WIN for Netanyahu," he wrote on his social media platform Truth Social.
"It all took place AFTER the Endorsement by President Trump, who only wants what is good for the Middle East, Israel, and the United States of America!"
