Trump: Israel Is ‘Losing A Lot Of Support’ Needs To ‘Finish Up’ War In Gaza

March 26, 2024

Donald Trump said on Monday that Israel needs to “finish up” the war in Gaza and that the country “has to be very careful” because it is “losing a lot of support.”

The former president and presumptive Republican nominee for 2024 made his remarks in an interview with an Israeli news outlet.

‘It’s a Very Bad Picture for the World’

Trump gave his comments right after Israel canceled a visit by delegates to Washington, DC.

Politico reports, “The presumptive Republican nominee’s comments come as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pulled an Israel delegation that was set to visit Washington after the U.S. allowed a resolution calling for a cease-fire to pass the U.N. Security Council.”

“Trump’s remarks also come as President Joe Biden’s administration has grown increasingly critical of Israel’s planned military offensive in Rafah, the southern Gaza city where more than 1 million Palestinians have sought refuge from the conflict.”

Trump On Israel-Hamas War: ‘A Lot of People Are Dying’

Trump said of the conflict in November, “So you have a war that’s going on, and you’re probably going to have to let this play out. You’re probably going to have to let it play out because a lot of people are dying.”

“There is no hatred like the Palestinian hatred of Israel and Jewish people. And probably the other way around also, I don’t know,” he added.

Trump finished, “You know, it’s not as obvious, but probably that’s it too. So sometimes you have to let things play out and you have to see where it ends.”
