Trump declines to endorse Netanyahu in Time interview, defends Oct 7 record

In a Time interview, Trump avoided a direct endorsement of Israeli PM Netanyahu despite recent praise and White House visits, while defending him over reported warnings before the October 7 attack. The non-endorsement signals potential friction in US-Israel relations and may reflect domestic political calculations ahead of elections. The exact reasons for the avoidance remain unclear, but it marks a notable deviation from Trump's typically supportive stance toward Netanyahu.
