Former President Trump says Israel made a “very big mistake” with the invasion of Gaza, noting that broadcast images of the widespread destruction have turned many against the country in his strongest criticism of Israel since the beginning of its war against Hamas last year.

In an interview with Israel Hayom on Sunday, Trump criticized the Israeli government for its publicizing its mass-bombing campaign against Gaza and the rampant destruction caused by its ongoing ground invasion, which came after more than 1,100 Israelis were killed in a Hamas attack on Oct. 7.

Trump said a rise in antisemitism in the U.S. and abroad is because Israel “fought back.”

“I think Israel made a very big mistake,” he said. “I wanted to call [Israel] and say don’t do it. These photos and shots. I mean, moving shots of bombs being dropped into buildings in Gaza. And I said, ‘Oh, that’s a terrible portrait.’”

“It’s a very bad picture for the world,” he continued. “The world is seeing this … every night, I would watch buildings pour down on people. It would say it was given by the Defense Ministry, and said whoever’s providing that, that’s a bad image.”

Trump reiterated his for Israel, but he said images of the heavy-handed military response have sparked anti-Israeli and antisemitic sentiment.

“Go and do what you have to do. But you don’t do that,” he said, referring to mass bombings. “And I think that’s one of the reasons that there has been a lot of kickback. If people didn’t see that, every single night I’ve watched every single one of those. And I think Israel wanted to show that it’s tough, but sometimes you shouldn’t be doing that.”

He later urged the country’s leadership to change its public image in the conflict.

Israel has to get better with the promotional and with the public relations, because right now they’re in ruin,” Trump said. “They’re being hurt very badly, I think in a public relations sense.”

The criticism comes as Democrats continue to raise pressure on the Israeli government over civilian casualties and the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. More than 32,000 Palestinians have been killed, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.

While both Trump and President Biden have stated they strongly Israel, Democrats have been more aggressive in recent weeks in critiquing the country. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) called for new elections in Israel earlier this month, which Trump criticized.

Hmm, Even Trump too



Almost every Israeli staunch ally in the west is appalled by the horrific and gory images of this war, except Nigerian ers


Let's see if they will now turn against their hero and savior trump

It's well.


It's all saying a lot about Joe Biden.

You are right Mr Trump. But what Hamas did to them that 7 of October attack was really disheartening. I pity Palestinian children who are worst affected by this Israeli retaliation attack. Peace to the world!

Israel is an apartheid terrorist state. The whole world is turning against the terrorist baby killers in Israel. The IDF is nothing but a terrorist organization.
They will pay for their crimes sooner or later.
Even their strongest er is slowly turning against these criminals.
Biden and Trump are both trying to stay in the middle hoping for votes, I'm not voting for either one of them. Biden is the biggest loser due to his of the Israeli atrocities in Gaza. He will lose the election because of this for Israel. He can see that now, that's why he's now backing away but it's too late.

Being political correct, if care isn't taken,will lead to human extinction events. If we become pussies and let extreme hardliners dictate events and narratives. China, Iran, Russia, moslem extremists groups all have one thing in common, which is to control minds and narratives to suit their gnarly objectives. The world needs a strong America, the world needs strong American leadership and not pussies like Donald Trump..

Yeah, Israel should have found a way to eliminate Hamas without destroying Gaza, because originally Gaza is still Israeli territory

Trump my niccur

Trump

I love trump, he also ask them to finish it up soon which means total distruction of the whole land.

Give a wicked foolish man what he will never imagine as a result of his poor choice towards people with different fingerprint.

Politics... Trump wants some people's votes.... Isreal did well... That is how to kill terrorism....

i think trump is wrong on this one

He is talking like this because he wants to become president again.

If he were President,He would have called for a total destruction of Gaza.

Trump werey.

P.S. Isreal should go ahead and destroy the remainder of those bastards in Rafah.

No matter how much they hide under civilians,they shall be destroyed

Bunch of Swines!

Sad but anybody that finds Israel trouble knows it’s war without end. Read history most people will not but rather stay on social media because if they did they wouldn’t have attacked Israel . The Israel I know will never stop until they take the whole of Gaza as part of Israel. There would no longer be a Palestine in the next few years

Its all international politicking.
No one re who initiated the war anymore. Heart goes out to the innocent ones suffering the damage.

But he still s them!!!

Trump didn't criticize the war...

Or the justification for the war.

Just the crude methods used by the Isrealis or more specifically they should have covered their as. S.

Terrorism isn't a war to be fought with half measures!

Everything that happened to them is on Hamas, and Israel had the right to protect themselves and fight back.

Trump to rhe world. But Trump you know within your mind, you will be happy for israel

"If you want peace, you got to prepare for war"

I ire trump so much . He always thinks out of the box.

Hamas = Very Wrong







Israel = Very Wrong

Some 1diots who call themselves Christian are happy here.

Lobatan

Words from the mouth of politician is different from the one within them.

John 8.44 : You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks according to his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.


These are the children of satan that the whole world fawns over. When the judgement comes, it will seize you all by the throat and never let go

If you understand Trump, he meant do your work but don't show the world the images even if you want to use it to show you are tough. It is damaging your image.
Trump playing political card here.

Hama knew that Israel has being targeting them for a very long time and u went ahead to bomb them.no bi madness bi that. Now d innocent people are suffering for what they know nothing about.
