Top line

Former President Donald Trump attacked President Joe Biden on Thursday for threatening to withhold weapons from Israel and accused him of siding with Hamas. Hours after the president said his government would not provide weapons to Israel if it went ahead with its plan to invade the city of Rafah.

Important facts

In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump wrote: “Joe Biden, whether he knows it or not, just said he will withhold weapons from Israel as it fights to eradicate Hamas terrorists in Gaza.”

The former president then accused Biden of “siding with these terrorists, just as he sided with the radical mobs that have taken over our college campuses.”

Trump then claimed the war in Gaza and Ukraine would not have started if he were still in the White House, saying, “We will come back and demand PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH again!”

In a follow-up post, Trump brought up the pro-Palestinian campus protests and blamed Biden for “weak colleges like Columbia University canceling graduations for thousands of students.”

The former president called the student protesters “pro-terrorist mobs” and claimed Biden donors funded them.
