The former US President says "Israel" should "do what needs to be done" in its war on Gaza but without releasing footage and allowing people to see it.

  • Trump calls Biden stupid, calls Israelis not share footage of Gaza war

Former US President Donald Trump praised "Israel's" decision to launch its war on Gaza and considered it to be "justified" but warned that the occupation entity should not release images of its bombardment of the Strip because it leads to negative publicity, which, in turn, is causing the entity to "lose a lot of world support."

In an interview for Israel Hayom newspaper, Trump, who is currently the lead runner for the US 2024 presidential elections, slammed President Joe Biden and blamed him for Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, citing his "stupidity" and "terrible" foreign policy, especially in the region, and Hamas' lack of respect for him.

"He cannot speak. He is a very stupid person. He is a stupid person. His foreign policy for 50 years has been Terrible. They [Resistance] saw him as a weak and ineffective president, and they made an attack that they would never have made, and they would not have attacked them ["Israel"] if I had been there," Trump claimed.

"Biden is an incompetent president, the worst the USA has ever had. He is the worst president our country has ever had," he added.

Finish the job

Since day one of the ongoing genocide, "Israel" announced that its main objective is to "eliminate" the Resistance and ensure that no Resistance party will be part of any future government in Gaza.

But as the war on the Strip nears its 6-month mark with over 32,000 people killed - more than 70% being children and women - top Israeli and US military and political officials began doubting that this mission is attainable. However, Washington persists in backing the mentioned objectives.

While the former President backed this goal, he said that "Israel" is making a grave mistake and needs to end the war very soon since it is "losing a lot of the world" as it continues to relentlessly bomb Gaza. 

"You need to finish, do the job and move forward to peace," he said, without pointing out what job he is referring to or how he thinks it must be done.

Kill them, but don't share the footage

With 32,226 martyrs, including 14,280 children and 9,340 women, the Israeli brutal war on Gaza is unprecedented in recent history. Additionally, the starvation policy imposed by the occupation has led to famine spreading across several regions in the Strip, with public information showing that 30 people were killed - over half children - from malnutrition and dehydration.

Addressing the situation in Gaza, Trump spoke of the disastrous humanitarian conditions in the Strip from a public relations perspective, focusing on what footage is being released to the world rather than the occupation's crime being committed.

"What I'm saying is that you shouldn't have shown the pictures. Every night I see buildings falling on people. And it was said that it was [footage] basically provided by Israel ... And I said, 'Why are they providing this?' It's a bad image. Do what you need to do, but this (advertisement) is not being done [correctly]. People should not see it. Israel wanted to show that it is tough, but sometimes it should not be done."

"It's a terrible portrait. It's a bad picture for the world."

Israelis could end your political career

A few weeks ago, Senator Chuck Schumer called for new "elections in Israel" to replace the government led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Despite Shumer later backtracking on his call to a large extent, he was not able to calm the outrage caused in the occupation entity.

Trump slammed this move, adding that any statement against "Israel" some years ago wouldn't have been the end of a politician's career in the US, citing the power of the Israeli lobby.

"Once, 15 years ago, Israel had the strongest lobby. If you were a politician you could not say anything bad about Israel. That was the end of your political career. Today it is almost the opposite. I haven't seen anything like that."
