Donald J. Trump

I realize you've been at war, but in the early years of World War II, when we finally got dragged in after December 7th, I think we had, in the first two years, three or four major inquiries into Pearl Harbor.

Now, I think we ended up with seven or eight.

We've never really gotten the answer straight of exactly what happened and who knew what at what time.

But has it surprised you there hasn't been any inquiry into 7 October?

No.

I think they've had some low-level internal IDF type of probes.

Why didn't they have proper positioning of forces down there?

I think the Mossad had some internal things.

Some people did resign.

But the idea in Israel was that we really can't have a big inquiry while the war is going on, and I think people mostly respected that.

Netanyahu made the case that,

We can't all go and hire lawyers right now.

We're trying to win a war.

The Iran thing came up.

So I do expect it to come up.

The Israelis became complacent over 20 years.

They simply shuffled Qatari money into Hamas and felt that they could buy them off and they wouldn't be interested in war.

And they obviously badly miscalculated and have paid the price.

I mean, was it shocking to you that President Trump's here today on a day to actually bring the remaining hostages home, 20 males?

I understand now the final 13 have been turned over.
