Former President Donald Trump is stepping back from his pointed criticism of Israel
Former President Donald Trump said Friday that he stood with Israel and its prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, as his GOP rivals continued to pointedly denounce his lashing out at Netanyahu days after Hamas’ deadly attacks. Referring to Netanyahu by his nickname, Trump posted “#IStandWithIsrael” and “#IStandWithBibi” on his Truth Social network Friday afternoon.
The first person to congratulate Biden was Bibi. And not only did he congratulate him, he did it on tape,” he reportedly said. Trump spokesman Steven Cheung denied there had been any walk-back and instead stressed Trump’s record on Israel as president, including moving the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem and the Abraham Accords. “There was no bigger advocate and defender of Israel than President Trump,” he said. Trump's GOP rivals nonetheless continued to attack him over his comments.
