“If we win, it’ll be very simple. It’s all going to work out and very quickly,” Trump told reporters at the beginning of the meeting.“If we don’t, you’re going to end up with major wars in the Middle East and maybe a third world war. You are closer to a third world war right now than at any time since the second world war. You’ve never been so close, because we have incompetent people running our country.”
The former president has repeatedly claimed that we are on the brink of WWIII due to the wars between Israel and Gaza and Ukraine and Russia.
Vice President Kamala Harris, the presumptive Democrat nominee for the presidency, met with Netanyahu on Thursday.
“Israel has a right to defend itself and how it does so matters. What has happened in Gaza over the past nine months is devastating,” Harris told reporters after the meeting.
“The images of dead children and desperate hungry people fleeing for safety, sometimes displaced for the second, third or fourth time. We cannot look away in the face of these tragedies. We cannot allow ourselves to become numb to the suffering and I will not be silent,” Harris continued.
Harris said that she urged Netanyahu to consider a ceasefire deal to have the remaining hostages returned to their families,
“As I just told Prime Minister Netanyahu, it is time to get this deal done,” Harris said. “So to everyone who has been calling for a ceasefire, and to everyone who yearns for peace, I see you and I hear you.” 🚨 TRUMP TO NETANYAHU: “I think [Kamala’s] remarks were disrespectful… pertaining to Israel. I actually don’t know how a person who’s Jewish can vote for her.”
