In a new campaign advertisement, Donald Trump, the Republican nominee for president, seems to hold US President Joe Biden responsible for the October 7 Hamas invasion and massacre in Israel due to his handling of Iran.
The video, which Trump shared on X on Monday, begins with reversed footage of Gaza being bombarded, while a voiceover mentions that “thousands,” including Americans, “were brutally killed” in the attack (approximately 1,200 people lost their lives).
“Before Iran assisted Hamas in planning the attack, before Biden handed billions of taxpayer dollars to Iran — Trump was tough on Iran,” the ad states, with an image of the former US president meeting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu displayed.
At the conclusion of the video, Trump speaks directly, emphasizing that “unyielding strength” is the only practical strategy in foreign policy.
“When I’m back in the White House, our enemies will know, if you spill a drop of American blood, we will spill a gallon of yours,” he asserts.
The accusations against Biden are supported by New York Post headlines from October 8 — a day after the Hamas attack — reading: “Iran helped plan Hamas attack” and “Biden $6 billion ransom to Iran.”
In August, Biden consented to the unfreezing of Iranian assets that were under sanctions — not American taxpayers’ money — as part of a Qatari-mediated deal to secure the release of five Americans held in Iran. After the October 7 attack, the US House of Representatives moved to block the transfer.
Iran has denied foreknowledge of the attack, and Israel has not accused it of direct involvement, although Tehran has provided support to Hamas through training and funding and shares Hamas’s explicit goal of Israel’s destruction. Reports indicate that the attack was a well-kept secret among Hamas’s leadership.
In 2018, following Netanyahu’s urging, then-President Trump withdrew from the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, reinstating US sanctions designed to prevent Iran from pursuing nuclear weapons. In response, Iran increased its uranium enrichment to unprecedented levels.
On Thursday, Trump posted on social media, claiming that “Iran was BROKE” when he left office and blaming his 2024 election opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, for the October 7 attack.
Trump, who has often called himself the most pro-Israel US president in history, has reportedly criticized Netanyahu for failing to prevent the attacks.
The two did not communicate for about three years after Netanyahu did not endorse Trump’s unfounded assertion that he won the 2020 election. However, the two leaders appear to have mended their relationship. Netanyahu visited Trump’s home in Florida on July 26 during a trip to the US. The day before their meeting, Trump urged Israel to “finish up [the war] and get it done quickly,” adding that Israel was “getting decimated with this publicity.”

It’s simply saying that Oct. 7th triggered a war that killed thousands. Every person outside the Harris planet understands it.
