Trump vows to expel pro-Palestinian protesters
Former U.S. President Donald Trump launched a scathing attack on the pro-Palestinian protesters who have been demonstrating across the US in solidarity with the Palestinians amid the recent escalation of violence in the Middle East.
Speaking at the Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC) convention in Las Vegas on Saturday, Trump called the protesters “alien residents who support jihad” and said that he will expel them from the country when he is elected president in 2025.
“They are not Americans, they are enemies of America and Israel. They want to destroy our civilization and our way of life. They are terrorists and we will not tolerate them. When I am back in the White House, I will deport them all,” Trump said to loud cheers from the audience.
Trump also told the Jewish attendees and donors in the audience that he is “Israel’s best friend,” and that he stands with Israel and the US against Hamas, the militant group that controls Gaza and has been firing rockets at Israel.
Trump’s statement comes as zionist occupation regime continues to commit massacres against civilians in Gaza, which triggered pro-Palestinian protests across the world.
According to Palestinian health ministry, at least 8,000 people, half of whom are children, have lost their lives in israeli airstrikes on Gaza since October 7. (ILKHA)
