US presidential candidate Donald Trump says he would have reacted the same way Israel did after Hamas’s October 7 attacks but Israel is losing international support and should wrap up its war in Gaza.
Trump told the Israeli newspaper Hayom in an interview that Hamas’s attacks were “one of the saddest things I’ve ever seen”.
“That being said, you have to finish up your war. You have to finish it up. You got to get it done,” Trump said in the interview.
“And I will say, Israel has to be very careful because you’re losing a lot of the world, you’re losing a lot of support. You have to finish up. You have to get the job done.”
The Republican also lashed out at Democratic politicians, including US Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, for criticising Netanyahu.
“I think it’s a terrible thing to do,” Trump said of recent remarks by Schumer calling for early elections in Israel.
