The first time Trump calls for an end to the war in Gaza (European)
Former US President Donald Trump called on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to quickly end the war in the Gaza Strip, during an interview with the "Media Buzz" program on Fox News, and considered that if he had been president, Gaza would not have been invaded.
Axios said that this is the first time that Trump has called for an end to the war in Gaza since the attack launched by the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) on Israel on October 7.
Trump's comments in the interview - which aired yesterday, Sunday - follow calls he made on Friday with Brian Kilmeade, host of the "Fox & Friends" program on Fox News, that Israel should "end the problem."
Axios quoted Trump as saying on Friday: “There was a horrific invasion. By the way, if I were president, this would never have happened.”
Trump did not speak yesterday about the detainees or any other conditions he would support to broker a ceasefire.
Trump said, in response to a question by Howard Kurtz, host of the “Media Buzz” program, about what he could tell Netanyahu about the Gaza war, “You have to finish it, do it quickly, and return to the world of peace. We need peace in the world... and we need peace.” Peace in the Middle East.
About two weeks ago, the former president announced his support for the war that the occupation army has been waging for 5 months on the besieged Gaza Strip, after he had previously criticized Israel, whether for killing large numbers of Palestinian civilians or for its failure to prevent the Hamas attack.
