“Donald Trump, in an interview with a conservative Israeli news outlet that was published on Monday, exhorted Israel ‘to finish up your war,’ mixing bellicose support for the government of Israel with harsh warnings that the Jewish state was losing international support by providing ‘a very bad picture for the world,’” the New York Times reports.
“But while Mr. Trump had typically harsh words for President Biden — he called Mr. Biden ‘dumb’ — he offered no prescriptions for what the United States should do, or for what he would do, if elected, to bring the war in Gaza to an end or to advance the cause of peace between Israel and the Palestinians.”
Said Trump: “Israel has to be very careful, because you’re losing a lot of the world, you’re losing a lot of support. You have to finish up, you have to get the job done. And you have to get on to peace, to get on to a normal life for Israel, and for everybody else.”
