WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump said he spoke to Israeli Premier Benjamin Netanyahu Wednesday after the pilot of an Israel-bound flight was allegedly attacked by his co-pilot, adding that the motive behind the incident remained unclear.

"I did speak to Bibi Netanyahu at length about this event, and it seems as though the co-pilot was perhaps a terrorist or perhaps a whack-job, and he stabbed the pilot," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.
