"I don't hear any negative things said about him," he simply stated, then added: "They've given up on Bibi many times, just like they've given up on me many times."

Saudi Arabia: Houthis attack an electricity station
The Saudi-led coalition fighting Yemen's Iran-backed Houthis says the group attacked an electricity distribution substation in Medina this week, knocking out a transformer but without compromising the power grid.
The coalition says an investigation and examination of the drone remains confirm Houthi involvement in the planning and execution of Tuesday's attack. It also claims that the plant supplies electricity to the Prophet's Mosque, one of the holiest sites in Islam.
A Houthi military source, quoted by the Houthi-run Saba news agency, denies the accusation, calling it a "lie" and saying it was intended to cover up what he described as Saudi Arabia's failure to provide evidence of its earlier accusation that the Houthis had targeted the Muslim holy city of Mecca.
Two weeks ago, Saudi Arabia said it intercepted and destroyed a Houthi drone south of Mecca before it entered restricted airspace over the city. The coalition described the incident as the second Houthi attempt to target Mecca since 2017, while the Houthis denied targeting Mecca or any other Islamic holy site.
The coalition says the attack on Medina was part of what it called repeated Houthi attempts to target the Two Holy Mosques and "provoke" Muslims around the world. It also said it will continue to take measures to protect sacred sites and pilgrims.
