U.S. President Donald Trump briefly addressed the political developments in Israel, specifically the decision by President Isaac Herzog to task Yisrael Beiteinu party chairman Gadi Eisenkot with forming a government. Speaking to reporters in Florida before boarding Air Force One, Trump was asked about the political rivalry between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Eisenkot. The American president chose to highlight the support he and his policies receive from both Israeli leaders, stating, "Eisenkot said very nice things about me, he says he loves Trump. Both Netanyahu and Eisenkot strongly support what I am doing."
However, Trump admitted he had not delved deeply into the specifics of the election results or the coalition negotiations in Jerusalem. "It's definitely a competition between him and Bibi Netanyahu. I haven't delved into it yet, we'll see what happens," he commented.
