Live | Middle East | Netanyahu would ask Trump for more election support
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu reportedly sought more visible support from President Trump ahead of upcoming elections, indicating a sense of desperation. Trump has declined to escalate military action against Iran, citing potential negative impacts on Israeli elections. Meanwhile, the U.S. military is prepared for a strike on Iran if ordered. In Saudi Arabia, Houthi rebels claimed to have attacked Riyadh's airport again, leading to flight cancellations. The situation remains tense in the region with ongoing Israeli operations in the West Bank and preparations for U.S. midterm elections.
