During an Iowa campaign event over the weekend, former President Donald Trump reacted to the horrific attacks and kidnappings of Israeli nationals at the hands of terrorist organization Hamas —the worst attack on Israel in over 50 years.
“The Hamas terrorist invasion of Israeli territory and the murder of Israeli soldiers and the brutal murder of citizens is an act of savagery that must and will be crushed.”
“This is a time when the U.S. needs leadership,” Trump added.

He explained that the invasion from Hamas into Israel happened because the United States, at the behest of Joe Biden, had handed over $6 billion to Iran just a few weeks ago. “They didn’t have that level of aggression with ME,” Trump added.
Trump additionally added that the violence in Ukraine, Taiwan, and now, Israel, wouldn’t have happened if he were in the Oval Office.
“People are shocked [at what happened in Israel] – I wasn’t shocked,” he said.
He continued, ““Four years ago we have the Abraham Accords and today we have Israel being ATTACKED…the only difference is, I believe, is the difference between one president and another president.”
Earlier in the afternoon, Trump additionally stated, “…The Israeli attack was made because we are perceived as being weak and ineffective and with a really weak leader.”
