Asked about UN report on Gaza, Trump says Oct. 7 ‘was genocide at the highest level’

US President Donald Trump is asked by a reporter at the White House about a UN report released this week claiming Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.

“Did anyone commit genocide on October 7?” he says, referring to the Hamas-led terror onslaught that started the ongoing war. “That was genocide at the highest level. That was murder, genocide, you can call it whatever you want. But little babies were chopped in half. Arms were cut off people, heads were cut off people. That’s genocide also I guess.”
