WASHINGTON, DC: Donald Trump seemed to endorse some of his followers who were yelling at President Joe Biden with the "genocide Joe" over his handling of the Middle East conflict during a rally on Saturday, April 13, in Schnecksville, Pennsylvania, the Business Insider reported.

The term "genocide Joe" was coined by pro-Palestinian supporters against Israel's assault on Gaza and what they saw as Biden's unwavering backing of the IDF's siege of the territory, which has resulted in over 33,000 deaths, according to the health ministry operated by Hamas.

Donald Trump said, "They're not wrong. He's done everything wrong." Additionally, the former president stated that he supports the Jewish state and added, "God bless the people of Israel. They are under attack right now."



 

He continued by saying that the Biden administration's "weakness" on the international scene was the reason behind Iran's drone and missile assaults on Israel during the night. He added that the incident would not have occurred if he had remained in government.

Notably, after a fatal attack on an Iranian embassy in Damascus, Syria, earlier in April, Iran launched an assault of over 200 missile and drone attacks on Israel on Saturday night in revenge.

Moreover, the US military has reportedly intercepted many missiles and drones, according to US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin. Jordan, the UK, and France have all stated that they supported Israel.

At the rally, Trump reiterated his well-worn attacks on Biden, branding him a "demented tyrant" and "crooked Joe", even going so far as to claim that "everything he touches turns to s**t".

Notably, Biden returned to the White House on Saturday to meet with his national security staff about developments in the Middle East, ending his weekend getaway to his beach house in Delaware.
