Donald Trump praised his presidency, emphasizing four years without initiating new wars, while critiquing President Biden’s approach to foreign policy during the Gaza conflict.
The war, triggered by Hamas’ attack on Israel, has claimed 2,300 lives, sparking a heated political discourse.
Trump’s Intense Allegations Against Biden
Trump, addressing a fervent crowd in West Palm Beach, Florida, accused Biden of chaos, bloodshed, war, terror, and death, citing the release of nearly $6 billion in frozen assets to Iran, a supporter of Hamas. Despite administration claims that the funds haven’t been spent, Trump and other Republicans have held this as a point of contention.
In response, the Biden campaign accused Trump of spreading dangerous misinformation during a crucial time when unity and support for Israel should prevail.

The emphasis was on affirming the President’s enduring resolve to support and enhance Israel while actively engaging in a significant leadership capacity at the global level.
