A way of criticizing the foreign policy of his rival, President Joe Biden, whose victory in the 2020 election he has never recognized.

He said the Hamas offensive would not have happened if he had remained in the White House. “No one would have even dreamed of venturing into Israel if the election had not been stolen,” the Republican said, without evidence.

Joe Biden strongly criticized the comments of Donald Trump, to whom he might be opposed in the 2024 presidential election, saying that “it was never appropriate to praise terrorists who seek to destroy” Israel.

“It is absurd that someone, and even more so a presidential candidate (…) praises Hezbollah terrorists by calling them ‘very intelligent’,” added Ron DeSantis, candidate in the Republican primaries facing Donald Trump.

All-powerful in Lebanon, pro-Iranian Hezbollah has claimed responsibility for several attacks on Israeli positions since the start of the war between Israel and Hamas.

Donald Trump had already thrown a wrench into the pond, and noted the division of the American political class over diplomatic issues, estimating in the followingmath of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, that Vladimir Putin’s strategy was “genius”. “.
