Kamala Harris “hates Israel,” Trump says, noting she skipped Netanyahu’s speech to Congress.

Former president and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said during a debate against the Democratic nominee, Vice-President Kamala Harris, that Israel will “cease to exist” if she is elected.
The debate between Trump and Harris, which was broadcast on ABC, included numerous references to Israel and the current conflict the Jewish State is waging against Hamas.
Harris strongly condemned the October 7th terror attacks, which triggered the current round of fighting, and reiterated her support for a ceasefire and hostage deal.
Trump questioned the authenticity of her support for Israel, noting that she had skipped Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyhau’s July address to Congress – an event which she was meant to preside over in her role as vice-president.
“She hates Israel. She wouldn’t even meet with Netanyahu when he went to Congress to make a very important speech. She refused to be there because she was at a sorority party of hers,” Trump said of Harris.
“If she’s president, I believe that Israel will not exist within two years from now, and I’ve been pretty good at predictions,” he said.
Trump noted that less than a month before October 7th, the Biden administration chose to unfreeze billions of dollars in Iranian assets as part of a prisoner exchange deal.
“Iran has $300 billion because they took off all the sanctions that I had,” Trump said. “Iran had no money for Hamas or Hezbollah or any of the 28 different spheres of terror, and they are spheres of terror, horrible terror.”
Iran was “broke,” he continued. “Now, they’re a rich nation, and now what they’re doing is they’re spreading the money around. Look at what’s happening with the Houthis and Yemen.”
Trump said that the world is teetering on the edge of a devastating global conflict, and that lack of American leadership is exacerbating the danger.
“We’re playing with World War Three and…where is our president? We don’t even know if he’s the president,” Trump said.
“They threw him out of the campaign like a dog,” he added. “We have a president that doesn’t even know he’s alive.”
