Trump Says Biden Siding With Terrorists Against Israel After Delaying Weapons Shipment


Former President Donald Trump blasted his likely 2024 rival, President Joe Biden, on Wednesday following the latter’s decision to withhold a weapons shipment to Israel over the Jewish state’s plans to move troops into Rafah, the last Hamas stronghold.

“Hamas murdered thousands of innocent civilians, including babies, and are still holding Americans hostage, if the hostages are still alive,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social page. “Yet Crooked Joe is taking the side of these terrorists, just like he has sided with the Radical Mobs taking over our college campuses because his donors are funding them.”

Biden told CNN on Wednesday that the United States will persist in providing Iron Dome rocket interceptors and other defensive arms. However, regarding Rafah, where over 1 million people have sought refuge from the war in Gaza, he stated, “we’re not going to supply the weapons and artillery shells used there.”

Trump, in response, also accused Biden of being “weak, corrupt, and leading the world straight into World War III.”

The former president also insisted that the Israel-Hamas war, as well as the war between Russia and Ukraine “would have NEVER started if I was in the White House.”

“But very soon, we will be back, and once again demanding PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH!” the presumptive GOP presidential nominee added in his post.

Biden’s remarks came after his decision last week to halt a shipment of heavy bombs to Israel. On Wednesday, he stated that Israel’s actions have not crossed any red lines for him, yet he emphasized that Israel must take further steps to safeguard civilian lives in Gaza.

“I made it clear that if they go into Rafah — they haven’t gone in Rafah yet — if they go into Rafah, I’m not supplying the weapons that have been used historically to deal with Rafah, to deal with the cities, that deal with that problem,” Biden told CNN.

He insisted, though, that the U.S. isn’t “walking away from Israel’s security,” but that it is “walking away from Israel’s ability to wage war in those areas.”
