Donald Trump says time for Israel to ‘finish up’ Gaza war
Al JazeeraUS presidential candidate says October 7 Hamas attack was brutal, but Israel is now losing international support. Donald Trump, the former US president and Republican candidate in November’s election in the United States, has warned Israel it is losing international support and should “finish up” its war in Gaza. “You have to finish up your war,” Trump told the Israel Hayom in an interview that the right-wing newspaper said had been recorded over the weekend. “Israel has to be very careful, because you’re losing a lot of the world, you’re losing a lot of support,” Trump said during the interview. Trump frequently touts himself as a supporter of Israel, pointing to his decision to move the US Embassy to Jerusalem and his administration’s role in brokering the 2020 Abraham Accords, which saw Arab countries including the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain normalise ties with Israel.
