Trump expressed disbelief that \u200cJewish voters could support Harris, given \u2062her comments. This meeting was\u200c notable as it marked the first face-to-face encounter between Trump and Netanyahu in nearly four years, coinciding with Netanyahu&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/illinois-dem-releases-comically-bad-campaign-ad\/\" title=\"Illinois Dem Releases Comically Bad Campaign Ad\">week-long trip<\/a>\u200c to \u2064the U.S. following the outbreak of war in Israel. The meeting aimed to \u200dmend their previously strained\u200b relationship and reaffirm support for\u200b Israel, especially with\u2064 the \u200cpotential of Trump&#8217;s return to the White House in the next election.  <\/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<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Trump says Harris was &lsquo;disrespectful&rsquo; to Israel during Netanyahu meeting<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1713799\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Israeli Prime Minister <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/benjamin-netanyahu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Benjamin Netanyahu<\/a> spoke with former President Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago resort Friday, marking the first time the pair have met face to face in nearly four years.<\/p>\n<p>Trump slammed Vice President Kamala Harris, his likely Democratic opponent in the 2024 election, for her comments regarding Israel this week, in which she urged the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/uk-govt-lockdown-to-last-12-months-expect-repeated-vaccinations\/\" title=\"UK Govt: Lockdown to Last 12+ Months, Expect Repeated Vaccinations\">prime minister<\/a> to finalize a ceasefire deal quickly.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I think her remarks were disrespectful,&rdquo; Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/margommartin\/status\/1816892023372218782\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>said during the meeting<\/a>. &ldquo;I actually don&rsquo;t know how a person who is Jewish could vote for her.

During the meeting, Trump took aim at Vice President Kamala Harris, who is expected to be his Democratic rival in the 2024 election, for her recent comments about Israel. Harris had urged Netanyahu to quickly finalize a ceasefire deal. Trump remarked, &#8220;I think her remarks were disrespectful,&#8221; adding, &#8220;I don\u2019t understand how a Jewish person could vote for her. But that\u2019s their choice. In my view, she was certainly disrespectful to Israel.&#8221; This meeting followed Harris&#8217;s own meeting with Netanyahu, where she publicly stated that she pressed him to secure a ceasefire in exchange for American hostages held by Hamas. Netanyahu reportedly cautioned that her statement could jeopardize negotiations for such a deal. Harris emphasized the need to acknowledge the suffering of civilians in Gaza, stating, &#8220;We cannot allow ourselves to be numb to the suffering, and I will not be silent,&#8221; after skipping Netanyahu&#8217;s address to Congress.<\/p>\n<p>Trump&#8217;s meeting with Netanyahu is seen as a chance to mend their relationship, which soured after Netanyahu was one of the first world leaders to congratulate President Joe Biden on his 2020 election victory. Trump had previously described that endorsement as a &#8220;terrible mistake.&#8221; For Netanyahu, this meeting is also significant as Trump could potentially return to the presidency next year, influencing U.S. military aid to Israel.<\/p>\n<p>Netanyahu&#8217;s visit to the U.S. marks his first trip abroad since the outbreak of war in Israel last October. He arrived on Monday and was welcomed by Ofir Akunis, the Israeli consul general in New York. On Wednesday, he addressed Congress, a speech that was boycotted by over thirty Democrats and sparked protests. In his 50-minute address, Netanyahu advocated for U.S. support for Israel amid the ongoing conflict with Hamas and expressed his commitment to achieving &#8220;total victory,&#8221; while also leaving the possibility of a ceasefire open under certain conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Before his speech, Netanyahu met with House Speaker Mike Johnson, where they exchanged gifts and brief remarks. Netanyahu presented Johnson with a sculpture made from shrapnel collected in Israel, while Johnson gifted Netanyahu documents, including a letter from Netanyahu&#8217;s father to former President Dwight D. Eisenhower. On Thursday, Netanyahu had separate meetings with President Biden and Harris, both of whom urged him to negotiate a ceasefire for the release of hostages. Trump has also called for the swift release of hostages, stating, &#8220;We want our hostages back, and they better be back before I assume office, or you will be paying a very big price,&#8221; during a recent speech at the Republican National Convention.
