Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, a day before he is set to meet Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, calls for a quick end to Israel’s war against Hamas and a return of the hostages, adding that the country has to better manage its “public relations.”
The war should end fast “because they are getting decimated with this publicity, and you know Israel is not very good at public relations,” says Trump during an interview with Fox News.
The former US president also criticizes those who protested Netanyahu’s speech yesterday to a joint session of Congress, and calls for a one-year jail sentence for desecrating the US flag — saying countries like Russia, China and North Korea are laughing at the US over its loose crackdown on such activity.
