Former US president Donald Trump is now asked how he would “negotiate with Netanyahu and also Hamas to get the hostages out and prevent the killing of more innocent civilians in Gaza?”
Trump repeats his assertion that the war in Gaza would have never started if he was president, before claiming Harris “hates Israel.”
“She wouldn’t even meet with Netanyahu when he went to Congress to make a very important speech. She refused to be there because she was at a sorority party of hers… she hates Israel. If she is president I believe Israel will not exist within two years from now,” he claims. “I’ve been pretty good at predictions, but I hope I’m wrong on that one.”
“At the same time in her own way, she hates the Arab population, because the whole place is going to get blown up: Arabs, Jewish people, Israel. Israel will be gone,” he continues to insist. “It would’ve never happened. Iran was broke under Donald Trump… Iran had no money for Hamas, or Hezbollah or any of the 28 different spheres of terror… horrible terror… they were broke.”
“Look at what’s happening with the Houthis in Yemen. Look at what’s going on in the Middle East. This would’ve never happened. I will get that settled and fast.”
Asked to respond to his claim that she hates Israel, Harris says “that’s absolutely not true,” describing herself as a lifelong supporter of the Jewish state.
