Trump Stands with Netanyahu Amid Criticism, Blames Hamas Attack on German Bread, Links Israel Attack to US Border, and Warns World about Hezbollah

Former US President Donald Trump initially criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for "letting us down" after Hamas's attacks, but later expressed support for Israel and Netanyahu on his Truth Social network. Trump's comments drew condemnation from the White House and his GOP rivals, who criticized his remarks and emphasized their support for Israel. Trump's criticism of Netanyahu stems from the latter's congratulatory message to President-elect Joe Biden in 2020. Despite the backlash, Trump's team highlighted his past support for Israel, including moving the US embassy to Jerusalem and brokering the Abraham Accords.
