Hillary Clinton: ‘I Hate’ Trump and Netanyahu Governments, Urges Tougher U.S. Stance on Israel “I think we’ve got to be very clear, the messages we send, hopefully the Israeli people, especially after this bombshell that came out in the Israeli press, where Netanyahu had been literally called by Sheikh Mohammed, MBZ, from UAE, and warned that Hamas was planning something,” Clinton said. “And either he didn’t believe it or he, it’s horrible to say, he wanted to see what they could plan so that then he could come down hard, and it would enhance his position.” Clinton acknowledged that she did not know what Netanyahu was thinking at the time, but argued that the allegation, if accurate, represented a major leadership failure. “I don’t know what his thinking was, but the bottom line, talk about a failure of imagination. This was a failure of leadership,” she continued. “This was a failure of protecting the people of Israel. He’s been told what was going to happen. So, if the Israelis want to vote for that again, then I think the United States has to take a very tough position.” The White House pushed back against Clinton’s criticism by emphasizing the close working relationship between President Trump and Netanyahu and pointing to the military cooperation between the United States and Israel. “President Trump has a strong relationship with Prime Minister Netanyahu, and Israel has always been a great ally to the United States. The Israel Defense Forces were incredible partners throughout Operation Epic Fury, which decimated the Iranian regime’s military capabilities in 38 short days,” a White House official told Fox News Digital. The controversy cited by Clinton stems from reporting that bin Zayed warned Netanyahu approximately 10 days before the October 7 attack that Hamas was preparing a significant operation. The report has become a major political issue in Israel, but Netanyahu’s office has categorically rejected its central allegation. “The press reports are false. No warning was given to the Prime Minister from the United Arab Emirates before October 7th. If there was any relevant information, it was passed through intelligence channels between the two countries,” the prime minister’s office posted to X. The UAE Foreign Ministry, meanwhile, has said it does not comment on reports or speculation concerning conversations between government leaders, while noting that relevant intelligence is shared through established channels. Netanyahu’s office did not immediately respond to a separate request for comment from Fox News Digital. Clinton went on to say she believes Washington could establish a productive relationship with a different Israeli government and prime minister. She specifically called for stronger action against violence by Israeli settlers in the West Bank. “I would hope that a new prime minister would crack down on settler violence in the West Bank,” she said. “There should be no impunity for that kind of violence. It is not just about the death and destruction of the Palestinians, their property and all the rest of it. Anytime you let people have that level of violence in a society that you don’t stop, that creeps into the whole society.” Clinton argued that such violence poses dangers not only to Palestinians but to Israeli society itself, and suggested that the United States reconsider its approach depending on the outcome of Israel’s elections. “So, it’s unfair, bad and wrong for the Palestinians,” Clinton added. “And it’s also very dangerous to Israel. So, yeah, I think let’s see what they vote for and see whether we can’t, you know, figure out how to have a new approach with a new government.” The interview also turned to divisions within the Democratic Party and the growing influence of socialist ideas among some Democrats. Clinton argued that politicians advocating those positions should be required to explain and defend them rather than rely on political catchphrases. “Let people defend the positions they’ve taken. And I think that would be good for the Democratic Party. It would be good for the country. “Let them get out of the sloganeering and into the legislating and results-oriented impact.” READ MORE👉👉 --- 📲 Join the Matzav.com WhatsApp Family! 🗞️
