Former President Donald Trump has publicly criticized Israel's handling of its conflict with Gaza following the October 7 Hamas assault, calling the bombing a 'big mistake' and expressing concern over the 'very bad picture for the world' these actions paint. In a series of interviews, notably with Israel Hayom, Trump highlighted the negative impact of the images of destruction in Gaza on world opinion and advised Israel to conclude its military operations. He also mentioned his desire to have advised Israel against the bombings before they occurred and blamed President Biden for the Hamas attack. Trump's comments come amid the ongoing conflict and have sparked discussions on the implications for US-Israel relations and the broader geopolitical landscape. The US State Department labeled Israel's decision not to attend scheduled talks with American officials as 'surprising and unfortunate.'
