Donald Trump Urges Israel to 'Calm Down' Amid Regional Tensions

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has called on Israel to "calm down" amidst escalating tensions in the region. Speaking to reporters, Trump expressed his disapproval of recent actions, stating, "I didn't like the fact that Israel unloaded right after we made the deal. They didn't have to unload." He further criticized what he termed as "very strong" retaliation from Israel. Trump also remarked on Israel's withdrawal, noting, "Now I hear Israel just went out because they felt it was violated by one rocket that didn't land anywhere." He concluded by emphasizing his dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs, stating, "That's not what we want, I'll tell you, and I'm telling you, I'm not happy about that Israel either." The comments come as international observers closely monitor developments in the Middle East, with calls for de-escalation from various global leaders.
