Trump meets Netanyahu at his Florida resort and suggests World War III could occur if Harris becomes president.

Former President Trump recently met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at his Mar-a-Lago resort home, where he warned of potential conflicts in the Middle East escalating into a third World War if he loses the 2024 election.

During their meeting, Trump criticized Vice President Kamala Harris, the presumptive Democratic nominee, for her handling of Middle Eastern issues, stating that Israel’s conflict with Hamas in Gaza could intensify into a broader regional war if she were to succeed President Biden. Trump stressed the importance of competent leadership in preventing major wars and geopolitical crises.

Trump’s statements come in the wake of a reported diplomatic disagreement between Harris and Netanyahu following their meeting in Washington, D.C. Harris expressed concerns about the humanitarian situation in Gaza and called for an end to the conflict, which conflicted with Netanyahu’s stance on continuing military operations until Hamas is eliminated.

Netanyahu, in response to Harris’ comments, emphasized the importance of reaching a cease-fire agreement in collaboration with the United States, signaling the significance of unity in resolving the ongoing crisis in the region.

The meeting at Mar-a-Lago marked the first face-to-face interaction between Netanyahu and Trump since the latter left the White House in 2020. Despite previous tensions between the two leaders, Netanyahu is now seeking to reconcile and secure Trump’s support for Israel in its conflict against Gaza should Trump win the November election.

During the meeting, Netanyahu presented Trump with a photograph of one of the children held captive by Hamas in Gaza, symbolizing the plight of innocent victims in the midst of the conflict. Trump expressed his support for addressing the issue and ensuring the safety of the hostages.

Protests erupted during Netanyahu’s visit to both West Palm Beach, Florida, and Washington, D.C., with demonstrators advocating for peace and calling for an immediate cease-fire between Israel and Hamas. However, Netanyahu condemned the protesters, accusing them of being influenced and funded by Iran and criticizing their lack of understanding of the complex geopolitical realities in the region.

The ongoing war in Gaza, which began after Hamas’ brutal attacks in southern Israel in 2023, has resulted in significant casualties and the continued captivity of numerous hostages, including American citizens. The need for diplomatic efforts and international cooperation to resolve the crisis remains paramount in securing peace and stability in the Middle East.
