‘I actually don’t know how a person who’s Jewish can vote for Kamala,’ says Trump

Former US president and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump criticised US Vice President Kamala Harris’s recent comments about the Gaza war, calling them “disrespectful” to Israel, during a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Florida.

“I think her remarks were disrespectful. They weren’t very nice regarding Israel. I actually don’t know how a person who’s Jewish can vote for her, but that’s up to them. In my opinion, she was certainly disrespectful to Israel,” said Trump.

Harris, the presumptive Democratic presidential candidate, stated yesterday that she would not be “silent” on the suffering in Gaza, shortly after meeting Netanyahu at the White House.

Her comments sparked strong Israeli complaints.

“If we win, it’ll be very simple. Everything will work out quickly. If we don’t, then you’ll see major wars in the Middle East and possibly a third world war. We’re closer to a third world war now than at any time since the Second World War. We’ve never been so close because we have incompetent people running our country,” Trump said before reporters were ushered out.
