US President Donald Trump is asked by right-wing cable news outlet Newsmax if he trusts Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“I don’t trust anybody, honestly,” Trump responds. “In the world of politics I don’t trust anybody.”
The question comes as Trump has recently been pressed several times on whether he will make an endorsement ahead of Israel’s October 27 election, which he has declined to say if he’ll do. Netanyahu has long touted his close ties with Trump in electoral campaigns.

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi told President Isaac Herzog that Israel should stop and reverse its “forced establishment” of West Bank settlements, China’s foreign ministry says in a statement.
China has consistently held that the Palestinian question is the greatest historical injustice of this century, Wang told Herzog during a meeting in Azerbaijan, the ministry adds.
US President Donald Trump specifies he isn’t considering nuking Iran, as he is asked about potentially dropping massive conventional ordnance on the Islamic Republic.
Trump says he may employ a munition known as the MOAB, short for Massive Ordnance Air Blast but is often referred to as the ‘Mother of All Bombs,” which he describes as “an extremely large bomb. It’s like a tiny nuclear bomb.”
“I wouldn’t use nuclear, we don’t have to,” he stresses in an interview with Newsmax. “We are the greatest nuclear power in the world.”
He also says that he doesn’t foresee the deployment of US ground forces in Iran.

Four people including three children have been killed in a shooting at an elementary school in the northwestern US state of Oregon, US networks report, citing unnamed law enforcement sources.
CBS News says at least three children and one adult were killed at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend. CNN also reports a death toll of three children and one adult.
Police earlier told reporters that there were “multiple victims” including children, and that the shooter was also killed.
The IDF says it launched an interceptor missile a short while ago toward a “false identification” over an area of southern Lebanon where troops are operating.
No sirens sounded in any towns, as no threat was posed to Israeli civilians.
There have been several such incidents in recent weeks.
