In a scathing social media post on Truth Social, former US President Donald Trump accused President Joe Biden of leading the world straight into World War III. Trump’s criticism comes in response to Biden’s decision not to provide weapons to Israel for their attack on Rafah, Hamas’ last major stronghold in Gaza.
Trump took to his platform to express his disapproval, stating, “Crooked Joe Biden, whether he knows it or not, just said he will withhold weapons from Israel as they fight to eradicate Hamas Terrorists in Gaza. Hamas murdered thousands of innocent civilians, including babies, and are still holding Americans hostage, if the hostages are still alive.”
The former president continued his tirade against Biden, accusing him of siding with terrorists and radical mobs due to his donors funding them. Trump labeled Biden as weak, corrupt, and blamed him for potentially sparking World War III. He asserted that if he were still in the White House, conflicts like those in Israel and Ukraine would not have escalated.
In response to Trump’s remarks, Biden defended his decision in an interview with CNN, emphasizing the need to prevent civilian casualties in Gaza. He explained his choice to pause a shipment of heavy bombs to Israel, stating, “Civilians have been killed in Gaza as a consequence of those bombs and other ways in which they go after population centers.”
The escalating tensions between Trump and Biden highlight the ongoing political divide in the US and the complexities of foreign policy decisions in the Middle East. As the situation continues to unfold, the world watches closely to see how these leaders navigate the delicate balance of power and diplomacy.
