JERUSALEM -- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will run in Israel's next election, his right-wing Likud party said Wednesday.

In a brief statement, Likud said Netanyahu would "run in the upcoming elections," without elaborating.

The statement came after US President Donald Trump told ABC News that it was unclear whether Netanyahu planned to run again, according to a Tuesday report from the outlet.

Elections have not yet been officially announced, but they are required under Israeli law to take place by October.
