Trump calls Kamala Harris' meeting with Netanyahu 'terrible and insulting'

Former President Trump, the Republican presidential candidate, called Vice President Kamala Harris' meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu "terrible and insulting."

"Her ineptness will greatly prolong the war and delay the hostage release," the former president continued. "The same people that embarrassed us in AFGHANISTAN with their gross incompetence, are the ones who are telling Israel not to fight any longer with Hamas. Forget October 7th, they say!"

The post put the word "insulting" in quotations, but it is unclear if Trump was intending to directly quote the prime minister. Fox News Digital has reached out to the Trump campaign for comment.

An Israeli official told Axios Netanyahu was unhappy with Harris mentioning civilian deaths in Gaza and the "dire humanitarian situation there."
