Trump blasts Biden, Obama, and Clinton in lively Knesset address: 'Hatred was present'
President Donald Trump Criticizes Obama and Biden's Middle East Policies
President Donald Trump criticized former Democratic Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden for their failure to stabilize the Middle East during a speech at Israel's parliament, the Knesset. Trump highlighted Obama's role in the Iran nuclear deal, which allowed Iran to advance its nuclear program. He also mentioned Biden's inability to progress Trump's Middle East deals, known as the Abraham Accords.
During his address, Trump accused Obama of signing a deal that facilitated Iran's nuclear ambitions, leading to concerns about the country's nuclear weapons development. He emphasized conversations with world leaders who expressed worries about the US direction under Democratic leadership.
Trump also referenced his 2016 presidential opponent, Hillary Clinton, who had criticized him during the campaign for potentially starting conflicts. However, Clinton later praised Trump's administration for brokering a peace deal between Hamas and Israel, calling it a significant first step towards peace.
In his speech, Trump defended his approach to international relations, citing the resolution of multiple conflicts during his presidency as evidence of his aversion to war. He dismissed Clinton's warnings as political scare tactics that did not materialize.
The article also mentioned Trump's visit to Israel to address the Knesset and witness the release of Israeli hostages held by Hamas. Trump's speech criticized past administrations for their handling of Middle East affairs, particularly focusing on the Iran nuclear deal and the Abraham Accords. Biden and Obama's representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
