Former President Trump criticized President Biden for his Israel policy in an interview set to air Sunday.
“And all of a sudden, he dumped Israel, that’s what he’s doing, he dumped Israel,” Trump said in reference to Biden on Fox News’ “MediaBuzz” with host Howard Kurtz. “He just said, essentially, that Bibi Netanyahu should take a walk.”
Biden, who has been facing pressure from the left wing of his party to support a permanent cease-fire in the war in Gaza, said he has called on Israel to “do its part” to let more aid into the territory and allow additional border openings in his recent State of the Union address.
Biden was caught on a hot mic following the recent address telling Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.), Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg that he told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that they need to have a “come-to-Jesus meeting.”
