In an interview with Time magazine earlier this year, Trump discussed his position on issues related to Israel as the nation found itself under siege following the Oct. 7 terror attacks perpetrated by the terrorist organization Hamas. He told the publication that he wants Israel to “get it over with” when it comes to its war against Hamas. He insisted that “we would be there” if Iran ever attacked Israel.

Trump expanded on his support for ensuring a swift end to the Israel-Hamas conflict in an interview with radio host Hugh Hewitt earlier this year: “They’ve got to finish what they finish. They have to get it done. Get it over with, and get it over with fast, because we have to, you have to get back to normalcy and peace.” 

“Let’s get back to peace and stop killing people,” he added. In an X post published early last month, Trump reacted to the death of Israeli hostages, including American Hersh Goldberg-Polin at the hands of Hamas by maintaining that the terrorist attacks “never would have happened if I were president.” He signaled his intention to secure an end to the conflict: “It will stop the day I am back in the Oval Office.”

In contrast to Harris, who expressed support for a “two-state solution” at a presidential debate with Trump last month, the former president told Time magazine that he didn’t see establishing a separate sovereign state for Palestinians in the Holy Land as a workable solution at this time. “There was a time when I thought two-state could work,” he said. “Now I think two-state is going to be very, very tough.”
