US President Donald Trump says he has not ruled out endorsing an Israeli candidate ahead of the October 27 election, but he does not commit to supporting Benjamin Netanyahu or any other contender. The remarks come about two weeks before voting begins.
Both outlets describe Trump’s approach as a hedge rather than a clear endorsement, despite Netanyahu’s long relationship with the US president. With the election nearing, the decision is portrayed as reflecting uncertainty and shifting US public sentiment, while leaving room for future statements or a possible endorsement later.
Overall, the reporting converges on one point: Trump provides neither a formal endorsement for Netanyahu nor an explicit backing of another specific candidate. The episode keeps attention on whether any US political signals will influence the campaign or Israeli political calculations as Election Day approaches.
