Likud minister: Trump's 'shameful' comments show he can't be relied on

Source: Times of Israel

Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi responds to former US president Donald Trump, who appeared to mock Israel for failing to anticipate the weekend Hamas onslaught and for not going on the offensive against Hezbollah amid several deadly clashes along its northern border.

Trump also launched personal attacks against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whom he accused of “letting him down,” and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, whom he called a “jerk.”

Karhi told Israel’s Channel 13 that it is “shameful that a man like that, a former US president, abets propaganda and disseminates things that wound the spirit of Israel’s fighters and its citizens.”

We don’t have to bother with him and the nonsense he spouts,” Karhi says. Asked if Trump’s comments make it clear that he can’t be relied on, Karhi replies, “Obviously.”

at least going back to when Squirrel-Top gave Russian officials Israeli intel during an Oval Office meet and greet in 2017. There probably wasn't much Israel could do or say at the time. But it makes me think that Israel may be doing its very best to make sure the turd with heavy makeup doesn't get elected prez again.

who cannot comment or cannot argue based on facts. He cannot use logic, data, science, the law, or the truth to defend his position. Mockery and name calling is the only thing available to him.

They "now" can't rely on him? Given how they like to be friendly they were towards the Talabangelicals in this country shows how ignorant and gullible they are. Are they going to someday realize that the religious x-tians in america want every jewish person in Israel dead as well?

I knew then majority of the GQP were antisemitic. I guess comradely with the enemy was ok since BiBi wanted the US Embassy moved to Jerusalem, but he and the RWers from Israeli were comfortable with the RWers in the USA.

I remember when dissed President Obama. Then shithole was conveniently in the WH, and he and BiBi appeared to be friends.

Unfortunately, BiBi has learned to hard way.
