Washington, Apr 13 (EFE).- Former US president and electoral candidate Donald Trump (2017-2021) today highlighted US support for Israel and considered that Iran’s attack would not have occurred if he had been in the White House.
“UNITED STATES SUPPORTS ISRAEL!” he said on his social network, Truth Social.
Trump, Republican candidate for the presidency of the United States, added in another message on that same account that “the attack should never have been allowed to take place” and emphasized that “NEVER” is what would have happened if he were president.
At a later rally in Schnecksville, Pennsylvaniathe former president said that the Israeli population is being attacked because the United States has been very weak: “The weakness we have had is incredible and it would not have been like that if we were in charge,” he said.
Trump, who has also accused Iraq of supporting Iran, pointed out that if he wins next November’s elections he will regain the strength of the United States both nationally and internationally.

But it is not going to be like this for a long time, believe me, it is not going to be like this for a long time,” he told the followers attending the rally, alluding to an eventual victory in the presidential elections on November 5, 2024.

As Israel faces this vicious attack from Iran, America must show our full resolve to stand with our critical ally. The world must be assured: Israel is not alone.
