According to a report by Al Jazeera, Former US President Donald Trump has called on Israel to rapidly conclude its military operations in Gaza and secure the release of captives, warning that the country is suffering from negative publicity.
In an interview with Fox News, Trump stated, “I want him to finish up and get it done quickly, he’s got to get it done quickly.” He emphasized that Israel must manage its public relations better, as the global response has been unfavorable to the ongoing conflict.
Trump’s remarks come a day before his scheduled meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. The former president also criticized protesters who objected to Netanyahu’s speech to the US Congress, urging a one-year jail sentence for those involved.
Netanyahu, who is facing condemnation over the devastating conflict in Gaza, is set to meet with President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris on Thursday. The discussions are expected to focus on finalizing a ceasefire agreement, an initiative Biden has actively pursued.
Despite the turmoil, the Biden administration has maintained strong support for Israel, approving billions in military assistance and extending crucial diplomatic support throughout the conflict….Seë _Morë
