Major wars in the Middle East and the possibility of a Third World War were discussed by Republican candidate for US president Donald Trump in his meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he does not win the US elections in November.
On the contrary, in case of victory, he promised him that “things will be very simple. Everything will be resolved and very quickly.”
“We have incompetents leading our country,” said Trump, who lashed out at his Democratic rivals on Friday.
The meeting concluded Netanyahu’s visit to the US, during which he addressed the US Congress and then met separately with President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, now the Democratic presidential candidate.
Trump’s campaign later released a statement about the meeting, saying his intention is to “bring peace to the Middle East” if he returns to the White House in January 2025.
The tycoon and Netanyahu sought to demonstrate their closeness during the meeting at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago compound, with tones much more cordial than during the right-wing Israeli prime minister’s meeting with Kamala Harris last Thursday.
“What has happened in Gaza over the past nine months is shocking,” the US vice president said, referring to “dead children” and “desperate and hungry people fleeing in search of safety.”
“We cannot look away from these tragedies. We cannot allow ourselves to become numb to this suffering,” she added when speaking to the press, promising that she would not remain “silent”.
Yesterday, Trump again called Kamala Harris a “radical left” politician and said her comments showed “disrespect” for Israel, whose US remains a key global ally.
