Trump Avoids Endorsing Netanyahu Ahead of Israel's October Election
Ahead of Israel's October 27 election, former US President Donald Trump has refrained from endorsing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, despite multiple requests. Polls indicate Netanyahu's coalition may win 49 to 53 seats, below the 61 needed to form a government, while opposition parties lead. Netanyahu aims to prevent a government without Arab-Israeli party support. If no coalition forms, Netanyahu could remain caretaker prime minister, with the possibility of another election. Trump's silence reflects growing differences over regional issues.
