  "account": "During an interview with Time on Thursday, former US President Donald Trump stated that he does not believe that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was informed in advance by Egypt or the United Arab Emirates about the October 7 Hamas attack. Trump suggested that if Netanyahu had known about the attack, he would have taken action against it. The former president emphasized that Netanyahu would not forget the \"terrible day\" of the attack.\n\nWhen asked about Netanyahu's chances in the upcoming elections, Trump refused to endorse the prime minister directly. He avoided answering the question three times, instead discussing Israel's role in defending against Iran without US assistance. In another instance, Trump stated that he is not involved in politics anymore and boasted about his popularity in Israel.\n\nDespite reports of tension between the two leaders, Trump did not rule out the possibility of working with Netanyahu again. He acknowledged that people have underestimated Netanyahu in the past, just as they had underestimated Trump. When questioned about Yeshayahu party head Gadi Eisenkot, who is seen as Netanyahu's main rival in the election, Trump expressed uncertainty about whether he would collaborate with Eisenkot or not.",
  "summary": "Trump also refused to endorse Netanyahu directly in the upcoming elections during the interview, steering the conversation away three times when asked directly about it.",
