Trump did state, via a quoted post on Truth Social, that his endorsement of Netanyahu turned the tide from a likely decisive defeat into a come-from-behind stalemate or possible win.

The Jerusalem Post and The Times of India both report that Trump shared a quote on Truth Social from Irving C. Schwartz stating that after Trump's endorsement, 'the whole tide turned' and what looked like 'a decisive defeat' for Netanyahu became 'a big come-from-behind stalemate, or even a WIN.' JNS and Cleveland Jewish News corroborate the headline claim that Trump said his endorsement helped turn the tide for Netanyahu. The claim accurately reflects what Trump posted/shared, which is the exact proposition being evaluated — that Trump made this statement — not whether the underlying characterization of the election is factually accurate.
