“May God bless the people of Israel. They are under attack right now. It’s because we are showing great weakness,” said the former President of the United States at the start of his speech to his supporters in Schnecksville.
Iran launched drones and missiles against Israel on Saturday evening in response to a strike on its consulate in Damascus, an attack that has raised fears of an explosion in the Middle East.
This is the first direct attack ever carried out by the Islamic Republic of Iran against the territory of Israel, its sworn enemy.
Accustomed to this type of remarks, Donald Trump assured that “this would not have happened if we were in charge”. “You know it, they know it, everyone knows,” he continued.
“The weakness we are showing is unimaginable (…) This attack should not have taken place,” he added.
