Former President Donald Trump referred to Biden's announcement that he would not provide weapons to Israel if it orders a large-scale entry into Rafah, claiming that the weapons are used to kill innocent civilians.
"Crooked Joe Biden, whether he knows it or not, said he would withhold weapons from Israel while they fight to eradicate Hamas terrorists in Gaza. Hamas has murdered thousands of innocent civilians, including babies, and is still holding Americans hostage, if at all the abductees are still alive."
Trump also accused Biden: "Crooked Joe takes the side of these terrorists, just like he sided with the radical mob that took over our college campuses, because his donors fund them. Biden is weak, corrupt and leading the world straight into World War III. Remember - this war in Israel, just like the war in Ukraine, would never have started if I was in the White House. But very soon, we will be back, and again, we demand peace through force!"
Biden's statement regarding an embargo on Israel provoked numerous reactions, including MK Itamar Ben Gvir writing that: Biden Loves Hamas, causing a stir in the Knesset.
