Former President Trump warns of Israel's impending doom if Kamala Harris is elected, while Prime Minister Netanyahu vehemently denounces Iran's nefarious influence in the Middle East.
Former President Donald Trump has issued a grim prediction for Israel, claiming that it faces imminent extinction if Democratic vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris is elected president. During a recent rally, Trump asserted that Israel's future is "doomed" under Harris's leadership, citing her alleged support for "radical left-wing policies."
Trump's warning has sparked widespread concern within Israel, where many fear that a Harris presidency could jeopardize the country's security and diplomatic standing. Trump's remarks have also been met with criticism from the Biden campaign, which accused the former president of spreading fear and misinformation to sway the election.
Trump Predicts Israel's Demise if Harris Wins, Netanyahu Condemns Iran's "Axis of Evil
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vehemently condemned Iran's "axis of evil" following a deadly terrorist attack at the West Bank-Jordan border crossing that claimed the lives of three Israeli civilians. Netanyahu held Iran responsible for the attack, alleging that it is part of a broader agenda to undermine Israel's security and stability.
Netanyahu's remarks come amid heightened tensions between Israel and Iran, which have been escalating due to Iran's nuclear program and its support for terrorist groups in the region. Netanyahu has repeatedly warned of the threat posed by Iran and has called upon the international community to take action against the country.

The Israeli military has initiated a thorough investigation into the terrorist attack, which occurred when a gunman approached the Allenby Bridge Crossing from the Jordanian side and opened fire on Israeli security forces. The assailant was killed in a shootout, while the three Israeli civilians were shot and killed.
Jordan, a Western-allied Arab country with a large Palestinian population, is also investigating the shooting. Authorities from both countries have closed the Allenby crossing until further notice.

Hamas, a militant group based in the Gaza Strip, has celebrated the attack, connecting it to Israel's ongoing offensive in Gaza. The group's official, Sami Abu Zuhri, warned of more similar actions in the future.
The attack marked the first of its kind along the West Bank-Jordan border crossing since Hamas terrorists killed approximately 1,200 people, mostly civilians, in their October 7, 2014 attack into southern Israel. Another 250 were taken as hostages into Gaza, and Hamas is still holding approximately 100 of them.

In the face of this latest attack, Netanyahu remained resolute in his commitment to Israel's security and the elimination of Hamas. He emphasized the importance of unity and resilience in the face of adversity.
"When we stand together – our enemies cannot, so their main goal is to divide us, to sow division within us," Netanyahu said.
According to Netanyahu, a recent German newspaper article revealed an official Hamas document outlining its plan of action, which involves sowing division within Israel, exerting political pressure, and continuing the war until Israel's defeat. However, Netanyahu assured that the majority of Israeli citizens remain steadfast in their support for the government's efforts to eliminate Hamas and ensure the safety of the country.
Netanyahu highlighted the importance of international cooperation in the fight against terrorism and the need to strengthen security measures at border crossings. The closure of the Allenby crossing is a precautionary step taken to prevent further attacks.
Despite the recent border incident, Jordan remains committed to the peace treaty it signed with Israel in 1994. Authorities in both countries have emphasized the importance of maintaining cooperation and resolving the current situation peacefully.
In light of the ongoing threats to Israel's security, both Netanyahu and Trump have urged Israeli citizens and security forces to remain vigilant and prepared to respond to any future attacks.
