U.S. President Donald Trump has not ruled out the possibility of endorsing a candidate in the upcoming Israeli elections, responding to a question about potential intervention with "Maybe we will do something." The statement leaves the door open for a future move without committing to a specific action or candidate.
Trump's remarks come amid close ties between Washington's decisions and the political and security landscape in Jerusalem. While public curiosity is high, his brief response does not indicate a final decision or a formulated policy of intervention.
In addition to addressing the Israeli political scene, Trump was asked about Iran, stating that a significant U.S. decision on the matter is expected very soon, though he did not elaborate on its nature or scope.
This latest statement follows previous instances where Trump has avoided declaring explicit support for any candidate in the Israeli elections. In August, he told Fox News that he believed it was appropriate to stay out of the Israeli election process, though he did not preclude considering support later. Similarly, in an early October interview with TIME magazine, he declined to commit to supporting any candidate, commenting on Gadi Eisenkot's potential victory and Benjamin Netanyahu's political chances.
