Donald Trump launched an attack on Joe Biden for “taking the side” of Hamas, describing as “shameful” the US president’s threats to prevent the delivery of certain weapons to Israel in the event of an Israeli attack on Rafah.
“What Biden is doing for Israel is shame“, the Republican presidential candidate in the November US elections told the media before entering the New York courtroom, where he is on trial for concealing the illegal payment to the former sex film star. Stormy Daniels. “He left Israel completely” he added.
The Democratic president warned yesterday that he “will not deliver” certain weapons to Israel, of which the US is the main military supporter, particularly “artillery shells”, in the event of large-scale Israeli military operations in Rafah.
This was the first time that Mr. Biden is publicly imposing conditions on US military aid to Israel in its war against Hamas in Gaza, in retaliation for the October 7 Palestinian Islamic Movement attack on southern Israel.
“Rogue Joe”…
“Joe the Bastard is on the side of the terrorists” of Hamas, Trump also said in a post on his own social media Social Truth.
“Biden is weak, corrupt and is leading the world directly into World War III,” he added, saying that, once back in power, “he will demand peace through force.”
Under the Trump presidency, the US turned its back on the two-state solution, unilaterally recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. The American embassy was moved to the holy city, causing worldwide protests.
However, in early April, the Republican presidential candidate argued that Israel is “losing the communications war” in Gaza, referring to “horrible images» of “bombing buildings” in the Palestinian enclave.
