Trump Said To Tell Netanyahu ‘Get Victory Fast’ in Gaza, Criticizes Cease-fire Demands
Republican US presidential candidate Donald Trump revealed on Thursday that he advised Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to swiftly conclude Israel’s war in Gaza during their last meeting in July. Speaking at a press conference in New Jersey, Trump emphasized the need for Israel to achieve victory quickly and end the ongoing violence. “It has to get over with fast. … Get your victory and get it over with. It has to stop, the killing has to stop,” Trump stated, referring to his discussion with Netanyahu at Mar-a-Lago.
The former president also took aim at President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris for their ongoing calls for a cease-fire in Gaza, arguing that such demands only give Hamas time to regroup. Trump criticized those pushing for a cease-fire as “pro-Hamas thugs” and “jihad sympathizers,” threatening to arrest and deport them if he were to become president again.
Trump and Netanyahu both denied an Axios report suggesting they had spoken about the Gaza cease-fire and hostage release negotiations the previous day. The report claimed that the call was intended to encourage Netanyahu to consider a cease-fire deal, which has faced numerous obstacles despite mediation efforts by the United States, Egypt, and Qatar.
