Trump’s Bold Claims Against Harris

Donald Trump’s latest remarks have once again stirred the political pot. Speaking to Jewish donors in Las Vegas, Trump alleged that Israel “will not exist two years from now” if Vice President Kamala Harris were to become president. He claimed Harris “hates Israel” and criticized her for prioritizing a sorority party over a speech by Netanyahu.

Trump further stated that the current Middle East tensions would not have escalated under his administration. He emphasized his stance by referring to attacks involving Hamas and the Houthi rebels. His comments aimed to contrast his approach to Harris’s policy actions or inactions.

Rebuttals and Clarifications

Harris responded firmly to Trump’s accusations. She called herself a lifelong supporter of Israel and asserted that her commitment to Israel’s safety is unwavering. She highlighted the necessity for a two-state solution ensuring peace, security, and dignity for both Israelis and Palestinians.

“Let’s understand how we got here. On October 7, Hamas, a terrorist organization, slaughtered 1,200 Israelis, many of them young people who were simply attending a concert where women were horribly raped. And so, absolutely Israel has a right to defend itself; we would,” Harris said.

Position on Current Conflicts

Trump also took the opportunity to criticize Harris’s handling of the Israel-Hamas conflict, suggesting that if he were in her position, the war would have been avoided. He promised to take severe actions against ‘terror-infested areas’ and to halt funding to universities spreading ‘anti-Semitic propaganda’.

“She wouldn’t even meet with Netanyahu when he went to Congress to make a very important speech. She refused to be there because she was at a sorority party of hers. She hates Israel. If she is president I believe Israel will not exist within two years from now,” Trump claimed.

Harris emphasized Israel’s right to defend itself, particularly in light of recent Hamas attacks. She stated the importance of a ceasefire and the release of hostages to end the ongoing conflict.
