(JNS) President Trump expressed disappointment May 27, as Israel will hold new elections on September 17 following Israeli lawmakers taking an unprecedented step on Wednesday to dissolve the Knesset. “It’s too bad what happened in Israel,” the president told reporters. “More likely they’ll have to go back into election mode.” On Monday, May 27, Trump tweeted his support for Netanyahu: “Hoping things will work out with Israel’s coalition formation and Bibi and I can continue to make the alliance between America and Israel stronger than ever. A lot more to do!” The failure of Netanyahu to form a coalition largely came as a result of an impasse between former defense minister and Yisrael Beiteinu leader Avigdor Lieberman and the ultra-Orthodox parties – Shas and United Torah Judaism – over a military draft bill.
