In a fiery Fox News interview, President Donald Trump shared his blunt takes on the Israel-Gaza war, offered a controversial vision for Gaza's future, praised Gulf states as peace partners, sympathized with Netanyahu and condemned Hamas. U.S. President Donald Trump gave a wide-ranging and provocative interview on Fox News, offering a behind-the-scenes look at his recent visit to Gulf countries, sharply criticizing President Biden’s Middle East policies, and laying out his vision for resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
When asked if he was frustrated with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump replied,“No, look, he’s got a tough situation. You have to remember, there was October 7 that everyone forgets. It was one of the most violent days in the history of the world, not the Middle East, the world, when you look at the tapes.”
Regarding Prime Minister Netanyahu'd personal approach to the war, Trump commented, "He's an angry man, who has been hurt badly by the war, but he's fought hard and bravely." Trump insisted that the Gaza war would not be happening had he been in office. “Iran had no money. They were stone-cold broke, and they weren’t giving money to Hamas." He further claimed that the removal of sanctions under the Biden administration gave Iran more than $300B. Pressed on how peace could be achieved, Trump was emphatic: “A hundred percent, we’ll have a solution — it's either going to be violent or nonviolent. I prefer non-violent, but they're not going to have a nuclear weapon.” (Read More)
