A spokesperson for President-elect Donald Trump stated that Trump aims to end ongoing wars as soon as possible, emphasizing the desire for a decisive victory for Israel. This sentiment was echoed by GOP spokeswoman Elizabeth Pipko, who reiterated that Trump's priority is a swift conclusion to conflicts, favoring a strong outcome for Israel. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu views Trump's electoral victory as a favorable development for U.S. policy regarding Israel, according to sources close to him.
