With Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in America, he traveled to Mar-a-Lago on Friday, July 27, to meet with former President Donald Trump, after speaking before Congress and meeting with President Joe Biden in the White House. During the visit, former President Donald Trump claimed that there could be a third World War if Harris wins the 2024 election.
Trump’s comments on the matter came when he met with PM Netanyahu at the Mar-a-Lago resort, to where Netanyahu had traveled after a series of meetings and remarks in Washington, where he addressed a joint session of Congress and met with Democrats like Bidena nd Harris. Trump, for his part, told reporters that the Israel-Hamas War in Gaza could expand into a wider war, perhaps even a world war, if Harris is in charge.
He said, speaking to reporters, “We’ll see how it goes. But if it all works out, if we win, it’ll be very simple. It’s all going to work out. And very quickly. If we don’t, you’re going to end up with major wars in the Middle East. And maybe a third World War. You are closer to a third World War right now than at any time since the Second World War. We’ve never been so close because we have incompetent people running the country.”
Former President Trump also wrote on Truth Social about Harris and Netanyahu. Beginning the post, he said, “P.M. Netanyahu of Israel had a terrible and “insulting” meeting in D.C. with Kamala Harris, who also refused to preside over Congress during his speech, which is an obligation of the V.P. Rarely has such a thing happened.”
Continuing, he sounded off on the “ineptness” of VP Harris and what that could mean if she is in charge, saying, “Her ineptness will greatly prolong the war and delay the hostage release. The same people that embarrassed us in AFGHANISTAN with their gross incompetence, are the ones who are telling Israel not to fight any longer with Hamas.”
Concluding, former President Trump wrote, “Forget October 7th, they say! Any Jewish person that votes for Kamala, or a Democrat, should immediately have their head examined. Likewise Catholics, who are being persecuted by this Administration, should not be voting for Radical Left Kamala. VOTE TRUMP 2024. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!”

VP Harris, for her part, said that she “will always ensure that Israel is able to defend itself, including from Iran and Iran-backed militias such as Hamas and Hezbollah.” She added, “I also expressed with the prime minister my serious concern about the scale of human suffering in Gaza, including the death of far too many innocent civilians. And I made clear my serious concern about the dire humanitarian situation there.”
PM Netanyahu, when asked about that comment from VP Harris and a potential ceasefire with Hamas in Gaza, said, “We’re trying to get one. And I think, to the extent that Hamas understands that there’s no daylight between Israel and the United States, that expedites the deal. And I hope that those comments don’t change that.”
