US President Donald Trump avoided expressing explicit trust in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in an interview with Newsmax, less than two weeks before the Knesset elections on October 27. When asked 'Do you trust Netanyahu?', Trump replied: 'I don't trust anyone, honestly. I don't trust anyone.' He repeated the answer even when the interviewer pressed for clarification. Trump did not explicitly say he does not trust Netanyahu, but presented a general stance. In another part of the interview, Trump addressed reports of attack plans against Iran using a MOAB bomb ('Mother of All Bombs'). He clarified that he would not use nuclear weapons ('I wouldn't use nuclear weapons. We don't need to do that'), but did not rule out using the conventional bomb. The CNN report revealed Pentagon plans to strike nuclear facilities and energy infrastructure in Iran, including the underground 'Mountain of the Pick' facility, although doubts were raised about the bomb's effectiveness against deep underground targets. The White House emphasized that all options remain on the table.
