The former president and presumptive Republican presidential nominee has in recent weeks found himself increasingly at odds with the GOP’s unwavering loyalty to Israel.
Republican presidential candidate and former president Donald Trump speaks at the Republican Jewish Coalition's annual leadership meeting in Las Vegas on Saturday, Oct. 28, 2023. Former president Donald Trump sharpened his criticism of Israel over the country’s handling of the war in Gaza on Thursday, expressing concerns about bad optics and questioning Israel’s approach to the conflict.
“They’re releasing the most heinous, most horrible tapes of buildings falling down,” Trump said. “And people are imagining there’s a lot of people in those buildings … and they don’t like it. And I don’t know why they released, you know, wartime shots like that. … To me, it doesn’t make them look tough.”
Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, has in recent weeks found himself increasingly at odds with the Republican Party’s de facto position of steadfast loyalty to Israel.last month with the Israeli newspaper Israel Hayom, Trump similarly urged Israel to “finish up your war” and said that “Israel has to be very careful, because … you’re losing a lot of support.”
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell , who has been critical of Schumer’s remarks, said last month that “bipartisan support for Israel seems to be cracking on the political left in this country.” House Speaker Mike Johnson has said that he wants Netanyahu to address Congress and called Schumer’s comments “highly inappropriate.” He also said it’s “plain wrong for an American leader to play such a divisive role.
