REUTERS/Marco Bello/File Photo - Former U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over what he described as a lack of preparation for a weekend attack by Palestinian Hamas militants that killed at least 1,200 people in Israel.
"He was not prepared. He was not prepared and Israel was not prepared. And under Trump, they wouldn't have had to be prepared," he said. One of Trump's opponents in the Republican contest, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, criticized the former president over the comments. Trump and Netanyahu had a close relationship during Trump's time as president, though cracks have appeared in their once ironclad rapport.
