Trump hammers Biden over Hamas attack claiming he ‘BETRAYED’ Israel and blasts $6 billion Iran ‘ransom’ while calling to reinstate travel ban from ‘terror-afflicted countries’

  • Trump is set to blast Biden over Israel during remarks in New Hampshire
  • He joined Republicans blasting deal to unlock assets to free Americans
  • He again attacked Iran nuclear deal he scrapped as president 

Former President Donald Trump on Monday took the chaos and tragedy in Israel to accuse his successor Joe Biden of betraying one of the nation’s closest allies.

Trump, who is speaking to supporters in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire Monday, touted his own withdrawal of the country from the Iran nuclear deal, and held up his travel ban that sparked a furious court fight.

‘When I was Commander in Chief, we reduced the Iranian economy to rubble, I withdrew from the disastrous Iran nuclear deal, imposed the toughest-ever sanctions on the regime, and imposed a strict TRAVEL BAN to keep Radical Islamic Terrorists the hell out of our country,’ Trump said.

He spoke just days after Hamas fighters crossed into Israel from the Gaza Strip and attacked houses, cars, and military bases, killing an estimated 700 Israelis along with nine Americans.

Trump accused Biden of ‘giving’ funds to Iran, which backs proxies including Hezbollah that the U.S. lists as a terror sponsor, said U.S. policy on Iran caused the terror invasion.

‘Joe Biden BETRAYED Israel,’ Trump said, saying he would ‘once again stand strongly with the state of Israel,’ in prepared remarks.

‘Joe Biden undid all of it, and gave billions of dollars to the world’s top sponsor of terror, tossing Israel to the bloodthirsty terrorists and jihadists,’ he said. 

Trump called it a ‘$6 billion dollars ransom.’

He was referring a deal that provided a waiver for the transfer of $6 billion in frozen Iranian funds from South Korea. The funds are now held in Qatar as part of a deal that freed five Americans. The administration says the funds are limited to humanitarian purposes, and said after the Hamas attack that so far no funds have been distributed to date.

Trump’s attack came after Biden spoke at the White House about the stunning attack.

‘The United States stands with the state of Israel,’ Biden said, saying he had spoken with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. ‘My administration’s support for Israel’s security is rock solid and unwavering,’ he said.

White House national security official John Finer told CBS News on Monday that Iran was ‘broadly complicit in these attacks’ but that the U.S. had not seen ‘any sort of direct involvement in the immediate attacks that took place over the last couple of days.’

Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Sunday that Hamas ‘wouldn’t be around in the way that it is without the support that it’s received from Iran over the years,’ but also said ‘we have not yet seen evidence that Iran directed or was behind this particular attack.’

Trump also blamed the attack on ‘our country’s perceived weakness with an incompetent and corrupt leader, Joe Biden, who’s laughed at all over the world.’

Trump joined other Republicans who are hammering Biden over the new tumult in the Middle East.

Some regional experts have said Hamas may have timed the attack in part to try to scuttle negotiations over a planned normalization of relations between Saudi Arabia and Israel. 

Trump, in his planned remarks, held up predecessor moves known as the Abraham Accords to normalize relations between Israel and some of its Arab neighbors. 

‘Less than 4 years ago, we had PEACE in the Middle East with the historic Abraham Accords—today we have all-out war on Israel. What a difference a President makes!’ Trump wrote. 

He said he would ‘cut off the money to Palestinian terrorists on Day One’ if reelected, and would ‘re-impose the travel ban on terror-afflicted countries so that the bloodshed and killing we saw this week will NEVER reach American soil.’
