Trump heavily trolled for comments on the Israel-Hamas conflict

Former US President Donald Trump has gone into damage control mode after being heavily trolled widely in the US and the Israeli media for privately calling for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s impeachment for failing to anticipate the brutal Hamas onslaught.

After his remarks on Netanyahu garnered unwanted attention in Israel and the US, he went on to say that “Hezbollah was smart”, and now, Trump’s team has done some damage control by issuing a statement, that said: “There was no better friend or ally of Israel than President Donald J. Trump.” As he continues to come under fire, Trump is also continuing the damage control.

In a post on his Truth Social social media platform, the former President wrote: “I have always been impressed by the skill and determination of the Israeli Defense Forces. As they defend their Nation against ruthless terrorists, I want to wish every soldier the best of luck. May you return home safely to your families, and may God bless you all!”

Rolling Stone magazine was the first to report that Trump has privately been calling for Prime Minister Netanyahu to be “impeached” for failing to anticipate the brutal Hamas attack on October 7. 

As the Rolling Stone report rolled on, Trump was already under heavy fire from Israel, President Joe Biden, and even Republican rivals over comments he made at a campaign rally on Wednesday, criticizing Jerusalem over the intelligence failure that led to the Hamas assault, calling Defence Minister Yoav Gallant a “jerk” and the Hezbollah terror group “very smart”, ABC News reported.  

Trump laid it on thick by saying Netanyahu did not do enough to assist the US in the latter’s 2020 killing of Quds Force Chief Qassem Soleimani. His campaign later issued an additional statement listing all of the steps Trump took as President to support Israel.
