Former President Donald Trump has warned Israel to bring its war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip to a rapid close, telling an Israeli paper that the Jewish state is quickly shedding international support.
Calling the Oct. 7, 2023, terror attack by Hamas “one of the saddest things I’ve ever seen,” the 77-year-old Trump said Israel had “made a very big mistake” with the ferocity of its response.
“These photos and shots. I mean, moving shots of bombs being dropped into buildings in Gaza,” the former president said during an interview with Israel Hayom, owned by the family of the late casino magnate and GOP megadonor Sheldon Adelson.
“And I said, ‘Oh, that’s a terrible portrait. It’s a very bad picture for the world,'” Trump went on. “The world is seeing this … every night, I would watch buildings pour down on people. It would say it was given by the Defense Ministry, and said whoever’s providing that — that’s a bad image.”
“You have to finish up your war … You gotta get it done,” the 45th president said. “And I am sure you will do that. And we gotta get to peace, we can’t have this going on.
