Former US President Donald Trump has blasted his rival President Joe Biden for pausing weapons shipments to Israel.

“While Israel is still fighting its war on terror, Crooked Joe has decided not to send them weapons. It is one of the worst betrayals of an ally in the history of our country,” Trump told supporters at a rally in Wildwood, NJ. “I fully support Israel’s right to fight its war on terror.”

Trump also repeated a claim he has made repeatedly that he could have prevented the attack altogether if he had remained in office.

“There would have been no war at all if I were in the White House,” he said. “‘When I was in the White House, Iran was broke, we had peace in the Middle East, and we got the Abraham Accords done. Every country would have signed up, even Iran.”

These latest attacks from Trump come just after he accused Biden of being weak in responding to campus antisemitism in a video released by his campaign last Monday for Yom Hashoa.

The video showcased Trump’s visits to Israel and speeches pledging to stand with the Jewish people and confront antisemitism, contrasted with footage of pro-Hamas campus protests and clips of Biden responding by saying, “They have a point.” However, according to CNN, the next part of the sentence in which Biden said, “We need to get a lot more care into Gaza,” was omitted in the video.
