Despite repeated questioning by reporters, Trump has so far failed to give Netanyahu the support he expected. Trump is still likely to change his mind. But with only 75 days left until the general election, Netanyahu's time is running out. Netanyahu's current ruling coalition won only 49 to 53 seats in the polls — far less than the 68 seats it currently has, and less than the 61 seats needed to form a government. The Israeli opposition party, on the other hand, holds between 67 and 70 seats. Netanyahu's main rival, former IDF Chief of General Staff Gadi Eisencott, had a higher approval rating in most polls.
