Former President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to disparage the “senseless death” of the Israeli hostages whose remains were discovered over the weekend and declare Vice President Kamala Harris and President Joe Biden have “blood on their hands.”
“We grieve the senseless death of the Israeli Hostages, horrifically including a wonderful American Citizen, Hersh Goldberg-Polin, murdered by Hamas due to a complete lack of American Strength and Leadership,” wrote Trump Sunday. “Make no mistake — This happened because Comrade Kamala Harris and Crooked Joe Biden are poor Leaders. Americans are getting slaughtered overseas, while Kamala is disparaging and making up lies about Gold Star families, and Biden is sleeping on the beach on this 16th consecutive day of vacation. They have blood on their hands!”
“Sadly, this is the total lack of ‘Leadership’ that Kamala and Biden represent — One that allows terrorists to take American lives, because they only care about Weaponizing the Department of Justice against their Political Opponent. Just like the Debacle of the Afghanistan Withdrawal that claimed 13 American lives, Kamala and Biden’s judgment has not only put lives at risk, but is directly responsible for unnecessary deaths that should have never happened …”
Bodies of hostages held by Hamas recovered in Gaza tunnel
The bodies of six hostages who had been kept captive by Palestinian militant group Hamas since October 7 were recovered by Israeli forces in a southern Gaza Rafah tunnel overnight Saturday. After autopsies conducted by Tel Aviv’s Abu Kabir Forensic Instituted, Israel’s Health Ministry said the hostages were shot numerous times at close range 48 to 72 hours prior to being found.
“According to our initial assessment, there were brutally murdered by Hamas terrorists shortly before we reached them,” said Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, Israel Defense Forces spokesperson on Sunday.
The bodies of Eden Yerushalmi, 24, Carmel Gat, 40, Master Sgt. Ori Danino, 25, Hersh Goldberg-Polin, 23, and Almog Sarusi, 25, and Alexander Lobanov, 32, were located in a 65-foot deep tunnel, with gunshot wounds to several parts of their bodies, including the head.
Trump, in a follow-up post, said that the October 7 attack on Israel would have never happened on his watch and vowed to lead the world through strength.
“…Our Country and our amazing people are not safe under Joe Biden, and will be less safe under Kamala Harris,” wrote Trump. “This terror would have never happened if I were President and it will stop the day I am back in the Oval Office. America will be Strong Again, and that will make the World Safe and Secure!”
Republican presidential nominee Trump, additionally said the “hostage crisis in Israel” is only happening “because Comrade Kamala Harris is weak and ineffective, and has no idea what she’s doing.”
“I look forward to seeing her at the Debate! Wrote Trump in a separate post on Truth Social. “Biden failed, and now he spends his day on the beach, plotting and scheming how to take out his once Political Opponent, ME, who took him out both at the Debate, and otherwise. THE OCTOBER 7TH ISRAELI CRISIS WOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED IF I WERE PRESIDENT!”
