Former President Donald Trump met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at his Mar-a-Lago estate this week, paving the way for a resumption of the “Abraham Accords.”
Trump criticized Vice President Kamala Harris’ remarks on Israel after her meeting last week with Netanyahu, calling them “disrespectful”.
“I think her remarks were disrespectful. They weren’t very nice pertaining to Israel. I actually don’t know how a person who’s Jewish can vote for her. But that’s up to them. But she was certainly disrespectful to Israel, in my opinion,” Trump said.
“We are closer to a Third World War right now then any time since the Second World War, we’ve never been so close because we have incompetent people running our country,” he continued.
When asked if a hostage release deal is closer, Netanyahu replied, “I hope so, only time will tell. We are working on it.”
Netanyahu showed former President Trump a picture of Ariel Bibas, a young boy who was kidnapped by Gaza with his parents and baby brother Kfir, holding a picture he had drawn in kindergarten.
The Israeli Prime Minister told Trump that Ariel’s grandfather asked that he give Trump the picture.
