John Bolton Names His 2 Issues With Trump's 'Utterly Unrealistic' Gaza Proposal
HuffPost
The president's former national security adviser warned that the plan could be a "prescription" for "another Oct. 7"-like attack.
John Bolton, who served as Donald Trump’s national security adviser in his first term, slammed the president on Thursday over his proposal that the U.S. take over the Gaza Strip.
Bolton, now a frequent Trump critic whose Secret Service protection was recently revoked by the president, cited two issues with a plan that’s been questioned by some Republican lawmakers.
“The first is what’s the U.S. role going to be post-war in Gaza? I don’t think it will look anything like what Trump suggested on Tuesday night,” said Bolton in an interview with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins.
“I don’t think there’d be any support for it. It’d be very dangerous in the circumstances. He doesn’t want to put troops in, which wouldn’t be advisable anyway. So a lot of that, I think, you can just disregard.”
He then turned to a “critical” issue on whether there will be attempts at an “utterly failed, utterly dead” two-state solution for Israel and Palestine before questioning what the humanitarian response will be for Palestinians.
