Tom\u2064 Cotton believes Trump would have resolved the Gaza war faster than Biden. Trump supported Netanyahu amidst\u200c criticism for an\u200c attack \u2062on Israel. Cotton emphasized Trump&#8217;s commitment to arming Israel and suggested the\u2062 conflict would have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/military-could-have-stopped-afghanistan-bomber-who-killed-13-americans-service-member-testifies\/\" title=\"Military Could Have Stopped Afghanistan Bomber Who Killed 13 Americans, Service Member Testifies\">ended sooner<\/a> under Trump. In contrast, Biden indicated a reluctance to provide weapons to Israel\u2064 for \u200cpotential actions in Gaza. Senator Tom Cotton\u200c argues that former \u2063President Trump would have expedited the \u200cresolution of the Gaza conflict compared to President Biden. Cotton\u2064 highlighted Trump&#8217;s support for Netanyahu despite backlash over an \u2062attack on Israel. He underscored Trump&#8217;s willingness to arm\u2062 Israel, implying\u2063 a swifter resolution under Trump&#8217;s \u2062leadership. In contrast, \u200bBiden signaled\u2063 hesitance in providing weapons to Israel for potential actions in Gaza.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div data-td-block-uid=\"tdi_78\">\n<p>Sen. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/tom-cotton\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Tom Cotton<\/a> (R-AR) contended on Sunday that former President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Donald Trump<\/a> would \u201cprobably\u201d end the war in Gaza at a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/miss-gov-reeves-biden-can-only-insult-americans-not-manage-covid\/\" title=\"Miss.

The Arkansas senator argued that Netanyahu and other Israeli leaders have taken responsibility for \u201cthe failures on Oct. 7,\u201d adding that a proper inquiry into what led to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/hamas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Hamas<\/a> attack would likely be conducted once the war is over.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut President Trump said just last night that he would absolutely provide Israel with the weapons they need to finish the job,\u201d Cotton said. \u201cThis would have never happened on President Trump\u2019s watch. It didn\u2019t happen on his watch. And if he were president, this war would have probably already been over, with much less civilian suffering in Gaza because he would\u2019ve backed Israel to the hilt from the beginning.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Biden signaled this past week that the United States would not provide Israel with weapons should Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu decide to invade Rafah, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/gaza\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Gaza<\/a>. In criticizing Biden\u2019s decision, Cotton argued that this decision is different from similar decisions made by previous presidents, including Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush, as present-day Israel is currently \u201cfighting a war of survival\u201d against the Hamas terrorist group.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond the war in Gaza, Cotton has also been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/presidential\/2991873\/tom-cotton-predicts-campus-protests-will-result-in-2024-win-for-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>critical of Biden\u2019s handling of the campus protests<\/a> happening across multiple colleges since last month, arguing that it will be one of the reasons why Biden will lose reelection this November. <\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Biden\u2019s recent announcement regarding withholding weaponry from Israel has prompted Rep.
