Donald Trump said he does not trust anybody in politics when asked directly whether he trusts Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Middle East Eye reported. The US president made the statement weeks before Israel's scheduled actions, though details of those actions were not specified in the available information.

The comment reflects Trump's broader skepticism toward political figures across the board rather than a specific criticism of the Israeli leader.
