Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday declared that Israel must “finish the problem” in its war against Hamas, his most definitive position on the conflict since the terror group killed over one thousand Israelis and took more than two hundred hostages on 7th of October.
Trump who asserted this during an interview with newsmen, confirmed that he was in Israel camp
“Yes,” Trump responded, when asked during an interview on Fox News if he was “in Israel’s camp.”
The interviewer then asked if the former president was “on board” with the way Israel was executing its offensive in Gaza.
“You’ve got to finish the problem,” Trump responded.
President Joe Biden, whom Trump is set to challenge for the White House in November, has come under increasing fire both internationally and from his own Democratic base over his backing for Israel as the death toll in Gaza soars and the specter of famine looms.
United State protest movements have urged voters to punish Biden at the polls over his support for Israel. More than 100,000 people in Michigan voted “uncommitted” rather than cast their ballot for him in the US swing state’s Democratic primary last week. As conditions deteriorate, Israel is facing an increasingly sharp rebuke from its top ally the United States.
Vice President Kamala Harris expressed “deep concern about the humanitarian conditions in Gaza” during talks in Washington on Monday with Israeli war cabinet member Benny Gantz.
