Trump Says He’s the Only Person Who Can Protect Israel: ‘Nobody Else Will, Nobody Else Can’

Former President Donald Trump claimed in a video on Friday that he is the only person who could “keep Israel safe” following Hamas’ terrorist attack against Israeli civilians.

In a Trump 2024 campaign video posted to Truth Social, Trump declared, “I kept Israel safe, remember that. I kept Israel safe. Nobody else will, nobody else can, and I know all of the players. They can’t do it. But I kept Israel safe and I will keep Israel safe. Thank you very much.”

During a campaign rally on Wednesday, Trump suggested that Israel would never have been attacked were he still president.

If the election wasn’t rigged, there would be nobody even thinking about going into Israel,” he claimed. “The election was rigged, very sadly rigged.”

Trump also tore into Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu this week and accused him of being unprepared for the attack.

“We have to protect Israel. There’s no choice. And we have to do it. He has been hurt very badly because of what’s happened here. He was not prepared. He was not prepared and Israel was not prepared,” Trump told Fox News’ Brian Kilmeade. “Under Trump, they wouldn’t have had to be prepared.”

He continued, “Who would’ve thought their intelligence wouldn’t have been able to pick this up? Thousands of people were involved. Thousands of people knew about it and they let this slip by. That was not a good thing for him or for anybody.”
