Former U.S. President Donald Trump described the October 7th Hamas attack on Israel as a "terrible day, a terrible tragedy," adding that "the other side is paying a very heavy price for what they did." Trump stated he had spoken with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and wished him and the people of Israel "all the best."

In a post on his social media platform Truth, Trump reflected on the three-year anniversary of the attack, calling it "one of the darkest and most evil days in Israel's history." He recalled the murder and abduction of "innocent men, women, and children" by Hamas terrorists and honored the victims, survivors, and hostages.

Trump also claimed to have "fought tirelessly to bring hostages home, both the living and the dead," asserting his success in these efforts. He vowed that "we will never forget October 7th" and would always stand against "forces of terror and evil."

Earlier, in a September 22nd speech at the UN General Assembly, Trump had referred to the upcoming three-year anniversary of the attack. He alleged that Iran-funded terrorists had tortured and murdered "1,200 innocent civilians, including dozens of Americans," and that Iran's Supreme Leader had celebrated the massacre as a "service to humanity."

Regarding Gaza, Trump reiterated his claim that he had returned all living and deceased hostages to Israel. He also thanked countries that contributed funds and soldiers to stabilize the Gaza Strip, repeating his assertion that he had "stopped eight wars."
