Netanyahu meets Trump at Mar-a-Lago, warns of World War III if Harris is elected.

If Trump loses the 2024 election, he claims that conflicts in the Middle East could lead to a third World War.

The Republican presidential candidate met with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu at his Mar-a-Lago resort home after previously meeting with President Biden and Vice President Harris in Washington, D.C.

Trump stated at Mar-a-Lago that Harris is "worse" on Middle East issues and asserted that Israel's war with Hamas in Gaza could escalate into a broader regional conflict if she succeeds Biden, who announced on Sunday that he would not run for re-election.

"We'll see how it goes. If everything works out and we win, it'll be very simple. It'll all go smoothly. But if it doesn't, we'll face major wars in the Middle East and possibly a third World war. We're closer to a third World war now than at any time since the Second World War due to incompetent leaders running the country."

After their meeting on Thursday, a diplomatic flare-up was reported between Harris and Netanyahu, prompting Trump's remarks.

During the meeting, Harris assured the Israeli prime minister that she would always ensure Israel's ability to defend itself against threats from Iran and Iran-backed militias such as Hamas and Hezbollah.

The Prime Minister and I discussed my grave concern about the immense human suffering in Gaza, including the tragic loss of innocent lives. Furthermore, I emphasized the urgent need for an immediate ceasefire and the release of all Hamas captives.

Netanyahu was reportedly irritated by Harris' criticism of Israel's actions during the Gaza war, as Axios has stated that the prime minister believes the fight against Hamas must continue until the organization is eliminated, even if hostages are released.

Netanyahu stated on Friday that Israel continues to hope for a cease-fire agreement in light of Harris' remarks.

Netanyahu stated that he believes Hamas comprehends that there is no difference between Israel and the United States, which could speed up the deal. He hopes that Hamas does not alter its stance based on any comments made.

Since leaving the White House in 2020, Netanyahu has only had face-to-face contact with Trump during their meeting at Mar-a-Lago. Their relationship became strained after Netanyahu congratulated President-elect Biden on his victory, which led Trump to call out the Israeli leader. Trump stated that he hasn't spoken to Netanyahu since then and added, "F--k him."

Netanyahu is striving to repair his relationship with Trump and gain his support for Israel in the event of a war with Gaza, should Trump be reelected in November.

The Israeli leader presented Trump with a photo of a Bibas toddler, one of the children still held captive by Hamas terrorists in Gaza, at his home.

Trump was shown the picture by Netanyahu, who received it from the toddlers' grandfather and was asked to share it with him.

"Trump accepted the photograph, saying, "Wow, that's very moving. We'll get that taken care of.""

In West Palm Beach, Florida, protesters gathered to greet Netanyahu as his plane landed. Earlier this week, the prime minister's visit to the nation's capital sparked pro-Hamas demonstrations, which included antisemitic slogans, calls for Israel's eradication, vandalism, and heated confrontations with D.C. police.

In his speech to Congress, Netanyahu accused Iran of supporting the protests and criticized the demonstrators, who called for an immediate end to the conflict between Israel and Hamas.

Netanyahu stated on Wednesday that when those who oppress gays and women in Tehran are supporting and funding your protests, you have become Iran's useful idiots.

"Protesters holding signs that read 'Gays for Gaza' might as well hold signs that say 'Chickens for KFC.' They chant 'From the river to the sea,' but many don't know which river and sea they're referring to."

Since the massacre of nearly 1,200 people, including more than 30 Americans, in southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, the war in Gaza has persisted. Hamas still holds more than 100 hostages in Gaza, including eight Americans.
