After receiving blowback for criticizing Israel amid its war with Hamas, former President Donald Trump turned the blame to President Joe Biden's policies, saying they exposed Israel to terrorist attacks.
"Just four years ago, we had the signing of the Abraham Accords. And today we have an attack on Israel," Trump lamented. Referring to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by his nickname, Trump posted "#IStandWithIsrael" and "#IStandWithBibi" on his Truth Social network Friday afternoon. "There was no better friend or ally of Israel than President Donald J. Trump," Trump wrote in a post Thursday. He also praised the Israeli soldiers now fighting Hamas in response to the unprecedented surprise attack Oct. 7. The war has since claimed at least 3,200 lives on both sides.
Trump spokesman Steven Cheung denied there had been any walk-back and instead stressed Trump's record on Israel as president, including moving the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem and the Abraham Accords.Trump's GOP rivals nonetheless continued to attack him over his comments.
