Donald Trump has used the Israel-Hamas conflict — which has claimed hundreds of lives on both sides — to push his false claims that the 2020 election was rigged against him.
While delivering a speech to his supporters at a club event Wednesday in West Palm Beach, Florida, Trump claimed that “if the election wasn’t rigged, there would be nobody even thinking about going into Israel.” He added, “The election was rigged, very sadly rigged.”
It’s a false claim that the former president has clung onto despite being indicted in August over his efforts to overturn the 2020 election and an anti-democratic campaign that culminated in the Jan. 6 Capitol attack. He was arrested again later that month on more federal charges stemming from the effort to overturn the presidential election, bringing his total indictments to four.
Trump also criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who he said did not assist the U.S. in the 2020 drone strike that killed Iranian military and intelligence official Qasem Soleimani. “I’ll never forget that Bibi Netanyahu let us down,” he said to his supporters gathered Wednesday. “That was a very terrible thing.” The former president went on to say Israeli intelligence needed to “straighten it out” and called Hezbollah “very smart.”
