Former President Trump condemned Vice President Kamala Harris' meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as "terrible and insulting." Trump accused Harris of disrespecting the Middle East ally and claimed her ineptness would "greatly prolong the war and delay the hostage release."
Former President Trump launched a blistering attack on Vice President Kamala Harris' meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, characterizing it as "terrible and insulting." Trump's criticism stemmed from Netanyahu's reported dissatisfaction with Harris' comments regarding civilian deaths in Gaza and the "dire humanitarian situation there."
In a social media post on Truth Social, Trump decried Harris's supposed lack of empathy and her refusal to preside over Congress during Netanyahu's speech. He asserted that her actions had humiliated Israel and would prolong the ongoing conflict with Hamas.

"Her ineptness will greatly prolong the war and delay the hostage release," Trump wrote. "The same people that embarrassed us in AFGHANISTAN with their gross incompetence, are the ones who are telling Israel not to fight any longer with Hamas. Forget October 7th, they say!"
Trump's post raised questions about whether he was directly quoting Netanyahu's assessment of the meeting. The use of quotation marks around the word "insulting" suggests that Netanyahu may have used that specific term, but the precise context remains unclear. Fox News Digital has reached out to the Trump campaign for clarification.

Trump went on to portray himself as the sole rational choice for Jewish and Catholic voters, accusing Democrats of persecuting both religious groups. He urged Americans of these faiths to support his potential 2024 presidential bid.
"Any Jewish person that votes for Kamala, or a Democrat, should immediately have their head examined," Trump declared. "Likewise Catholics, who are being persecuted by this Administration, should not be voting for Radical Left Kamala. VOTE TRUMP 2024. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!"
