West Palm Beach, Florida., While hosting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at his Florida estate yesterday, Republican candidate Donald Trump pledged to make every effort to bring peace to the Middle East and combat anti-Semitism on college campuses, if Americans elect him president in November.
If we win, it will be very simple. Everything will be sorted out, and very quickly.the Republican also assured, If we don’t, we could end up with major wars in the Middle East and perhaps a third world war.he told Netanyahu.
Trump greeted the Israeli prime minister and his wife, Sara, on the stone steps of his Florida mansion.
This is the first meeting they have held in almost four years.
Both are seeking to mend an important political alliance that, analysts say, was broken when Netanyahu congratulated Joe Biden on his victory over Trump in the 2020 presidential election.
The day before yesterday, in an interview with Fox News, the tycoon called for a quick end to the war and the return of the hostages that Hamas is holding in Gaza, adding that Tel Aviv has to manage its public relations.
The president thanked Trump for his support during his administration for initiatives such as the Abraham Accords, signed in 2020 to normalize relations between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan and Morocco, the transfer of the US embassy to Jerusalem and the recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights.
Asked by reporters if he had made progress in the United States, Netanyahu replied I hope so.
We have incompetent people running our countryformer President Trump said as he sat across from Benjamin Netanyahu, before describing Vice President Kamala Harris as worse than President Joe Biden.
Yesterday’s meeting was more cordial than the one between the Israeli prime minister and Harris the day before yesterday. The vice president told reporters that she would not remain silent on the situation of the Palestinians in the face of Netanyahu’s presence in Washington.
What has happened in Gaza in the last nine months is devastating.Harris stressed, in order to highlight that Images of dead children and desperate, hungry people fleeing in search of safety, sometimes displaced for the second, third or fourth time.
Yesterday, Trump described Harris as a radical leftist person and he thought that his comments seemed to him disrespectful with Israel.
