Trump tells Netanyahu ‘World War III’ likely if he loses in November

“If we win, it will be very simple. Everything will be sorted out very quickly,” Trump said.

Former President Trump met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida on Friday, just after the Israeli leader met with President Biden and Vice President Harris.

Trump claimed in the context of the meeting that A major war in the Middle East – and perhaps even a “third world war” – will break out if he does not win the electionHe has long presented himself as the candidate who will be able to ease the global tensions in which Washington is too deeply entrenched.

“If we win, it will be very simple. It will all come together very quickly,” Trump told reporters just before the meeting began.

“If we don’t, we’re going to end up with major wars in the Middle East and perhaps a third world war.“You are closer to a third world war today than at any time since World War II. You’ve never been closer, because we have incompetent people running our country,” he said.

He probably had in mind the war between Russia and Ukraine and the conflict between Israel and Hamas, since he has made similar comments on both of these hot spots in the past. However, he never said so bluntly that a third world war could break out if he lost.

He also addressed the controversy surrounding Netanyahu’s meeting with Vice President Harris. The Israeli leader was reportedly upset by Harris’ statement after the meeting, where she said She will not “remain silent” in the face of Palestinian civilian casualties and growing suffering.

“Harris’ statement after the meeting was much more critical than what she said to Netanyahu at the meeting” , an Israeli official told Axios. According to more, “the Israeli official also said Netanyahu was unhappy that Harris had publicly criticized Israel for the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and for killing civilians, particularly at the current time, amid negotiations over the hostage deal.”

Trump said before the meeting with Netanyahu that Harris’ remarks on the Gaza war were “disrespectful”Referring to Harris and the Biden administration, as well as Democrats in general, Trump said: “They haven’t been very nice to Israel. Actually, I don’t know how a Jewish person could vote for her, but that’s her business.

Trump also said something a little unusual about Iran and the possibility of a future US war against Tehran…

He said in a statement on social media that Iran must be destroyed if it ever carries out an assassination against a future President Trump.

The comments follow Netanyahu’s fiery speech to Congress on Wednesday. The prime minister focused on Iran, saying it was the source of “all the terrorism” and “all the murder.” He then claimed that the Islamic Republic “brazenly threatened to assassinate President Trump.”
