U.S. President Donald Trump, when asked by an American journalist about the upcoming Israeli elections, once again avoided publicly endorsing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Trump stated, "I will do something," but offered no specifics.
This marks another instance where Trump has refrained from offering explicit support for Netanyahu. The situation has drawn attention, particularly given the close relationship often portrayed between the two leaders.
Trump's comments came amidst other White House news, including the brief 13-minute debut press briefing by new White House spokesperson. There are concerns among White House staff about potential layoffs following recent personnel changes. Jean-Pierre's background check was reportedly so limited that Trump was unaware she was a protégé of Corey Lewandowski, who was dismissed from the administration in March.
