Media: Trump announced his desire to resign Netanyahu

Former US President Donald Trump would like Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to resign in time for his possible new presidency. About it writes The Rolling magazine Stone with reference to two sources.

In recent days, Trump has held phone calls with a number of “pro-Israel allies” of the Republican Party and donors who wanted to know how the politician would handle the Palestinian-Israeli conflict if he wins the election in 2024. Trump’s proposals include cutting off aid to the Palestinians and seizing and the extradition of some Hamas militants.

At the same time, Trump spent a significant part of his time criticizing Netanyahu, the magazine writes. Sources say the former US president has expressed a strong desire for Israel’s prime minister to resign by the time Trump potentially returns to power in 2025. In particular, Trump criticized Netanyahu for the “catastrophic intelligence failure” that led to to the Hamas attack.

October 12 on Fox News Trump statedthat Netanyahu was not prepared for an attack by Hamas. The politician added that this would not have happened if he were the President of the United States.

On the morning of October 7, the Palestinian group Hamas began military operations against Israel. The militants attacked army border units, entered Israeli populated areas and took an unknown number of military and civilian hostages. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced the launch of Operation Iron Swords, and the Israeli government announced that the country had entered a state of war.

According to the latest data, the death toll in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict has exceeded 2,800 people. Israeli death toll reached 1300 people, with Palestinian – more than 1500.
