After Israel vote, Trump says will 'look' at helping Netanyahu form unity government

The elections were Israel's first since the October 2023 attacks by Hamas.Trump said he hadn’t thought about it when asked by Axios Wednesday whether he will get involved in the election deadlock and help Netanyahu form a unity government, which he would lead."I will take a look," he told the outlet.
