Biden’s statements came on the heels of a dangerous escalation, with Hamas launching rockets towards the Kerem Shalom border crossing, a critical entry point for aid into Gaza. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) swiftly responded, urging residents to evacuate and deploying tanks in Rafah to secure the border crossing with Egypt. Trump made it clear that he stood firmly behind Israel, expressing support for their efforts in combating terrorism.
The former President didn’t mince words, labeling Biden as “Crooked Joe” and accusing him of betraying America’s allies. Trump highlighted the tragic events of October 7, 2023, when Hamas launched a deadly attack, resulting in the loss of 1,200 Israeli lives and leaving more than 250 people as hostages. Despite some releases, there are still American hostages in Hamas’s custody, a fact that Trump emphasized to underscore Biden’s alleged failure in handling the situation.
Trump’s rhetoric struck a chord with his supporters, who echoed his sentiments of unwavering support for Israel’s fight against terror. He pointed out Biden’s purported reversal on supporting Israel, citing it as one of the most significant betrayals in American history. The crowd’s energy at the rally reflected a shared belief in standing by Israel during times of crisis.
As public opinion remains divided on Israel’s actions against Hamas, Trump’s vocal criticism of Biden resonates with those who believe in a robust stance in support of Israel’s efforts to combat terrorism. The Pew Research Center’s poll underscored the differing viewpoints among Americans, indicating a mix of perspectives on the justifiability of Israel’s military actions. Trump’s impassioned speech served as a rallying cry for those who prioritize unwavering support for Israel in the face of adversity.
