“And all of a sudden, he dumped Israel. That’s what he’s doing. He dumped Israel,” said Trump in a clip of the interview.
After Kurtz interjected, Trump doubled down, saying, “I mean, he just said, essentially, that Bibi Netanyahu should take a walk.”
Additionally, Trump called on Netanyahu to end the war in Gaza quickly, saying, “Do it [end the war] quickly, and return to a world of peace.”
Democrats voiced concerns over Benjamin Netanyahu’s leadership
These comments come after Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer called for an election in Israel to replace Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday.
President Biden later came out defending Schumer’s comments, saying he “expressed a serious concern shared not only by him but by many Americans.”
