US President Donald Trump said in an interview released Monday that the Zionist entity “may be winning the [Gaza] war, but they’re not winning the world of public relations.”
In an interview with the Daily Caller, Trump said: “They’re gonna have to get that war over with… It is hurting Israel.”
Trump was asked in the interview whether he is concerned about waning support for Israel in the US, including among Republicans: “I’m aware of it,” he responded.
He then pivoted to highlight his “good support from Israel,” while touting the moves he has taken as president in defense of the Zionist entity.
Trump asserted ‘Israel’ had “the strongest lobby in Congress” 15 or 20 years ago, but no longer does.

“There was a time where… if you wanted to be a politician, you couldn’t speak badly [about Israel],” he said. “Israel was the strongest lobby I’ve ever seen.. They had total control over Congress,” Trump said. Israel has “been hurt, especially in Congress.”
Trump added that was “a little surprised” to see declining support for Israel in Congress. “People, they forgot about October 7th. You know, October 7th was a truly horrible day, because I’ve seen the pictures,” referring to Hamas’ Operation Al-Aqsa Flood.
“And you know, you have people that deny it ever happened, they’re deniers. You have people that deny the Holocaust ever happened,” he continued.
“So, they’re gonna have to get that war over with. But it is hurting Israel. There’s no question about it. They may be winning the war, but they’re not winning the world of public relations, you know, and it is hurting them.”
