Former president Donald Trump said that President Joe Biden and vice-president Kamala Harris bear responsibility for the brutal execution of six hostages, including an American-Israeli, due to their weak leadership emboldening terror groups.

“We grieve the senseless death of the Israeli hostages, horrifically including a wonderful American citizen, Hersh Goldberg-Polin, murdered by Hamas due to a complete lack of American strength and leadership,” Trump said in a press statement on Sunday.

“Make no mistake: This happened because Comrade Kamala Harris and Crooked Joe Biden are poor leaders,” he continued.

“Americans are getting slaughtered overseas, while Kamala is disparaging and making up lies about Gold Star families, and Biden is sleeping on the beach on this 16th consecutive day of vacation. They have blood on their hands!

“Sadly, this is the total lack of ‘leadership’ that Kamala and Biden represent – one that allows terrorists to take American lives, because they only care about weaponizing the Department of Justice against their political opponent,” he added.

Trump has long criticized the foreign policy decisions of the Biden-Harris administration, stating that power and strength bring peace, rather than capitulation to terror groups.

In September 2023, just weeks before the October 7th terror onslaught, Trump warned that Biden’s decision to release some $6 billion in frozen funds to Iran would trigger an uptick in global terror.

Biden announced the deal – which saw Iran free five Americans wrongfully detained in the country – on the 22nd anniversary of the September 11th terror attacks.

The deal set a “terrible precedent” for hostage exchanges, Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform at the time.

“We did a hostage trade with Iran. We gave them 5 very tough, smart people that they desperately wanted. We likewise got back 5 people but, we also gave them 6 billion dollars!

“How much of a kickback does Crooked Joe Biden get? Does anyone realize how much money 6 billion dollars is?”
