Donald Trump has said, without providing evidence, that the “same people that raided Israel are pouring” into the United States via “our totally open southern border,” and asked whether they could conduct a similar attack.
The former president, and 2024 Republican presidential frontrunner, made the remarks in a video posted on his Truth Social website.
On October 7, Hamas militants launched an unprecedented mass attack into southern Israel from Gaza, killing 1,300 people, predominantly civilians, and kidnapping scores more. The Israelis have since hit back with an air and artillery bombardment, killing 1,900 people, according to authorities in Gaza. Israel has called up 360,000 reservists, and its forces are massing along the Gaza border ahead of an expected ground invasion.
In Trump’s Truth Social video, released on Friday, the former president said: “The same people that raided Israel are pouring into our once beautiful USA through our totally open southern border at record numbers. These are the same people, many of them, that did a number in Israel, a sneak attack.
