U.S. President Donald Trump indicated he might support a candidate in the upcoming Israeli elections, though he declined to specify whom. The White House is also nearing a decision regarding Iran and has not ruled out military action against the Houthis in Yemen. When asked by journalists if he intended to publicly back any participant in Israel's election campaign, which is scheduled in two weeks, Trump responded, "Perhaps I will support someone," without naming any individuals. This statement comes amid close ties between Washington and Jerusalem and the U.S. administration's active role in Middle Eastern politics.
Addressing questions about the Houthis in Yemen, Trump stated they "behave badly" but did not confirm if a decision on a potential U.S. strike had been made. His rhetoric concerning Iran was notably harsher, with Trump calling Iran a "failed state" and asserting that a decision on the country would be made soon. He also highlighted the U.S. control over the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint for global oil supplies.
Trump's remarks to the press left several significant questions open: his potential endorsement in the Israeli elections, the possibility of a new U.S. military operation against the Houthis, and the course of action to be taken regarding Iran.
