Former President Donald Trump vowed to end the “suffering and destruction” of Lebanon if he regains the White House this November.
The GOP nominee, and longtime pro-Israel ally, made the comments via Truth Social on Wednesday as Israel continues to launch airstrikes on Hezbollah positions in the Middle Eastern country.
According to the BBC, 60 people have been killed by Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon’s eastern Bekaa Valley, including two children while 58 individuals remained wounded. For weeks, Israel has carried out thousands of airstrikes in Lebanon while targeting Hezbollah operatives and infrastructure.
Trump told his followers on Truth Social that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were to blame for the chaos in the region and vowed to bring “lasting peace” to the Middle East if he wins the election.
“During my Administration, we had peace in the Middle East, and we will have peace again very soon! I will fix the problems caused by Kamala Harris and Joe Biden and stop the suffering and destruction in Lebanon,” wrote Trump. “I want to see the Middle East return to real peace, a lasting peace, and we will get it done properly so it doesn’t repeat itself every 5 or 10 years!”
“I will preserve the equal partnership among all Lebanese communities. Your friends and family in Lebanon deserve to live in peace, prosperity, and harmony with their neighbors, and that can only happen with peace and stability in the Middle East,” he concluded. “I look forward to working with the Lebanese community living in the United States of America to ensure the safety and security of the great people of Lebanon. Vote Trump for Peace!”
