The Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump renewed his criticisms of potential Democratic rival, Vice President Kamala Harris, describing her recent meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as "terrible and humiliating." In a message published on his platform "Truth Social" shortly after his meeting with Netanyahu in Florida, Trump stated: "His incompetence will significantly prolong the war in Gaza and delay the release of the hostages." He continued: "If he is not elected himself in November, the world may witness major wars in the Middle East and possibly a third world war." Trump further attacked Jewish voters specifically, saying: "Any Jew who votes for Kamala Harris, or a Democrat, should have their head examined immediately." He reiterated his unfounded accusations of anti-Semitism against Harris, who is married to a Jewish man. These remarks come as Harris, who replaced Joe Biden at the top of the Democratic ticket just days ago, is leading Trump in polls. This verbal escalation from Trump occurs in a tense international context, where handling the crisis in the Middle East could become a key issue in the U.S. presidential election campaign.
