The Donald Trump campaign Sunday took a jibe at Democratic VP candidate
Tim Walz
sharing a video showing him walking away when he was asked to comment of the dead hostages found in Gaza. Six bodies were found in Rafah, the southern
Gaza
hub including that of Hersh Goldberg-Polin who was an American citizen. The Israeli military said the hostages have been brutally murdered by
Hamas
.
Five of them were at the music festival which was attacked on October 7, 2023. The sixth was taken from the village of Be'eri. They were kept hostage and recently killed.
Tim Walz Sunday went to the Minnesota State Fair and interacted with the media but did not answer any question on the hostage situation.
Former president Donald Trump doubled down on the Biden-Harris administration after the hostages were found dead. In a Truth Social post, Trump blamed Kamala Harris and President Joe Biden for the hostage crisis and reiterated that had he been the president, the October 7 attack would have never happened.
"The Hostage Crisis in Israel is only taking place because Comrade Kamala Harris is weak and ineffective, and has no idea what she’s doing. I look forward to seeing her at the Debate! Biden failed, and now he spends his day on the beach, plotting and scheming how to take out his once Political Opponent, ME, who took him out both at the Debate, and otherwise. THE OCTOBER 7th ISRAELI CRISIS WOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED IF I WERE PRESIDENT!" Trump posted.
Biden in his statement said, "I am devastated and outraged." “They have been relentless and irrepressible champions of their son and of all the hostages held in unconscionable conditions. I admire them and grieve with them more deeply than words can express," Biden said. "Make no mistake, Hamas leaders will pay for these crimes. And we will keep working around the clock for a deal to secure the release of the remaining hostages."
Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, an IDF spokesperson, said Hamas killed the six shortly before Israeli forces reached them. Their bodies were found less than a mile from a tunnel where hostage Qaid Farhan Alkadi was rescued earlier this week, he said. A spokesperson from Israel’s health ministry said the six were killed sometime between Thursday and Friday.
