Donald Trump says Kamala Harris `hates` Israel

Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump met for the first time Tuesday in their first presidential debate of the 2024 election, hosted by ABC News.

During the debate, the Israel-Hamas war came into discussion with the two showcasing different viewpoints, reports economictimes.

The former president Trump again claimed that the Israel will be gone under Kamala's administration. "She hates Israel. She didn't even meet Netanyahu when he visited Congress. She also hates the Arab population. Look at what is happening in the middle east. This would have never happened if I were president."

"It must end immediately, and the way it will end is we need a ceasefire deal, and we need the hostages out," said Harris.

"She hates Israel. If she's president, I believe that Israel will not exist within two years from now," said Trump to which Harris responded: "That's absolutely not true. I have my entire career and life supported Israel and the Israeli people."

Harris says Israel “has the right to defend itself,” adding “we would” if the United States were attacked.

The vice president went on to advocate for a “two-state solution.”

As he has frequently during the campaign, Trump said the war would have never happened were he president, saying several times that Harris “hates Israel.”
