Sen. Tim Scott criticized former President Trump for his recent comments attacking Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu amid Hamas' terror attacks on Israel.
Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., on Monday criticized former President Trump's recent comments attacking Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as 'terrible and not helpful' amid Hamas' terrorist attacks against the Jewish State. Scott, a presidential candidate seeking the Republican nomination in 2024, made the comments about his GOP primary opponent's remarks during an event hosted by the Georgetown Institute of Politics and Public Service and The Associated Press.
Trump blasted Netanyahu during a speech on Wednesday, saying the Israeli prime minister 'let us down' shortly before the U.S. military assassinated top Iranian general Qassem Soleimani in early 2020. The Republican front-runner also suggested that Netanyahu’s conversations with the Biden administration helped Hezbollah, a terror group Israel fears may launch an attack from the country's north.
One of the first things that Israel’s done is they waited,' Scott said. 'Now how Prime Minister Netanyahu had the kind of restraint to refrain from immediate action, it just talks about the morality and the humanity that we see coming from Netanyahu into Gaza.' The senator also spoke on whether the U.S. should accept Palestinian refugees.
