DONALD Trump has blasted "weak" Joe Biden for the recent Israel-Gaza conflict, claiming Hamas wouldn't have attacked if he was still in the White House.
The former president made the remarks in an interview that was broadcast last night - hours after a ceasefire was declared following an 11-day blitz on the Gaza Strip that has left more than 200 dead.

Trump told cable news channel OANN that Biden showed an attitude of weakness during the conflict and said Hamas wouldn't have dared to fire rockets at Israel if he was still in office.
The former president said: "He's shown such weakness. They have planes flying over Taiwan now. You wouldn't have had this problem in Israel.
"They didn’t shoot rockets. They are shooting thousands of rockets into Israel – that wouldn’t have happened with me."
Trump admitted that he was fearful about the future of the Middle East, DailyMail.com reports.
He said: "You get war, you get big war in the Middle East and it’s going to get worse."
The interview was originally filmed on Tuesday but was broadcast hours after Joe Biden appeared to take some credit for the Israel-Hamas ceasefire.
Biden welcomed the ceasefire Addressing the nation, Biden said that Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu had agreed to a mutual, unconditional ceasefire.
The Egyptians informed Washington that political leaders in Gaza also agreed to end the fighting.
The president welcomed the decision but said the US "fully supports" Israel's right to defend itself when faced with terrorist attacks.
Biden also pledged to help Israel build back up its Iron Dome defense system, pointing out that the US helped develop it.
The agreement closes the heaviest round of fighting between the enemies since a 50-day war in 2014.
The fighting began on May 10 when Hamas militants fired long-range rockets toward Jerusalem after clashes between Palestinian protesters and Israeli police at the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
The spot is a flashpoint site that is known to Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary and to Jews as the Temple Mount.
Heavy-handed police tactics at the compound and the threatened eviction of dozens of Palestinian families by Jewish settlers had earlier inflamed tensions.
Netanyahu's security cabinet approved the truce on the basis of what one official reportedly called "quiet in exchange for quiet".
Rocket attacks by Hamas and allied Islamic Jihad had resumed after an eight-hour pause on Thursday, as Israel continued shelling that it said aimed to destroy the factions' military capabilities.
Health officials in Gaza said 232 Palestinians - including 65 children - have been killed and more than 1,900 wounded in aerial bombardments.
Israel said it has killed at least 160 combatants in Gaza.
Authorities put the death toll in Israel at 12, with hundreds of residents treated for injuries sustained in rocket attacks.
President Trump spoke the truth.
They wouldn’t have had the money to, with Trump in charge.

Biden Making America Weak
New campaign slogan should be for Trump MAAA make America awesome again. Biden has crapped it all up, gotta make America awesome again
He’s right, of course.
Correct.
Hamas got green light from O’Biden when he freed up the aid that was frozen by President Trump.
The arrogant freaks who now work in the White House are an embarrassment to the nation. All they know how to do is screw things up.

And XiJoe taking credit for the cease-fire that Turkey did.
Soon to be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for his 11 days of effort.
I fear that the attacks on Israel were not what they seemed.
They may have been to get Israel to use up a huge portion of their Iron Dome arsenal so that in later, larger attacks, perhaps from IRAN, Israel will have less ammunition for protection...................

Hamas attacked...Paid for by Friends of Biden.

Yeah weird how rockets went off in 2017 and 600 rockets attacked Israel in 2019. I am sure there were many more over the last 5 years
“During the first week of May, 600 rockets were fired at Israel by Hamas or other terrorist organizations. The escalations started after 50 rockets were fired at Israel from Gaza on 4 May. Three Israelis were killed by the rockets and more than 100 Israeli civilians were injured.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Palestinian_rocket_attacks_on_Israel_in_2019
There have been other casualties:
In September “Seven Palestinian civilians were wounded after a rocket was launched from Gaza Strip that fell short, hitting a house in the Strip.”
In November “One of the rockets hit Palestinian Independent Commission for Human Rights (ICHR) in Gaza after going astray from the launcher.”
I wonder, if someone posts this to Facebook - does it immediately get taken down, or are they banned altogether?
(Not asking for myself, I wouldn’t touch Facebook)
