Donald Trump is drawing criticism from the White House and Republican presidential rival Ron DeSantis over comments on the conflict in Israel days after the deadly attack by Hamas.
Trump at a rally in West Palm Beach, Florida, on Wednesday night said Hamas, which is designated a terrorist group by the US and the European Union, would never have carried out the assault under his watch and condemned the violence that was mostly inflicted on Israeli civilians.
