Israel's Netanyahu will run in the next elections: Likud party
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will seek re-election in Israel's upcoming national vote, his Likud party announced Wednesday, after U.S. President Donald Trump publicly questioned whether the 76-year-old would run.
Netanyahu, who is Israel's longest-serving prime minister, has led his country through three years of war, and is currently on trial for corruption.
"Prime Minister Netanyahu will run in the next elections and, God Willing, he will win," the party said on Telegram.
The declaration came after Trump told ABC News he was uncertain about Netanyahu's intentions.
