Trump slams Netanyahu as ‘not prepared’ for Hamas attack and says Israeli leader has been ‘hurt very badly’ by intelligence failure in latest escalation of their feud

Former President Donald Trump claimed that he would have protected Israel from attack by Hamas as he criticized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for his country’s massive intelligence failure.

Hundreds of terrorists fanned out from the Gaza Strip on Saturday morning to launch a wave of killing that left at least 1200 people dead.

Israel’s armed forces did not see the attack coming and were slow to respond.

On Wednesday evening Trump told The Brian Kilmeade Show: ‘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. And under Trump, they wouldn’t have had to be prepared.’

Other political leaders have steered clear of criticizing Israel or its leaders while it continues to bury its dead. Soldiers are seen here carry the casket of Valentin Ghnassia, 23, who was killed in a battle with Hamas militants at Kibbutz Be'eeri near the Israeli border with the Gaza Strip during his funeral on October 12, 2023 at Mount Herzl Military Cemetery in Jerusalem
