In an interview with CBS News' '60 Minutes,' US President Donald Trump said Israel would not have existed without Washington's decision to carry out B-2 bomber strikes on three nuclear facilities in Iran more than a year ago. He linked Republican midterm losses to the war with Tehran, rising gasoline prices, and 'hatred of Israel,' affirming he would make the same decision again, expressing openness to understandings with Democrats on immigration, and planning to discuss nuclear disarmament with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jin.
Coverage differed in emphasis: while 'الاستاد الرياضي' led with Trump's claim about the role of B-2 strikes in Israel's existence, 'عين ليبيا' and 'الحياة برس' focused on the reasons for Republican losses, with 'عين ليبيا' adding details about Trump's plans to discuss nuclear disarmament with Putin and Xi Jin, and 'الحياة برس' highlighting his openness to Democrats on immigration.
