Trump backs Netanyahu, but will voters?
|Jerusalem (CNN)As Israelis prepare to head to the polls on April 9, Benjamin Netanyahu faces perhaps the toughest election campaign of his long political career.
The Prime Minister faces multiple corruption investigations, not to mention a formidable opponent. Netanyahu’s Likud party, which has held power since 2009, has trailed in some election polls the Blue and White party led by the former military general Benny Gantz.
But Netanyahu, in office continually during this latest stint for a decade, has received plenty of help for his reelection bid from his good friend, US President Donald Trump.
