In a recent interview set to air on Sunday, former President Donald Trump criticized President Joe Biden for his Israel policy, accusing him of "dumping" Israel. Trump made these remarks during an appearance on Fox News' "MediaBuzz" with host Howard Kurtz.

Trump expressed his disapproval of Biden's approach towards Israel, claiming that Biden had abandoned the country. He specifically referenced Biden's alleged statement that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should "take a walk."

Biden, who has faced pressure from the left wing of his party to support a permanent cease-fire in the Gaza conflict, has been vocal about his calls for Israel to play its part in allowing aid into the region and opening borders. During his recent State of the Union address, Biden emphasized the need for Israel to take action in this regard.

A hot mic incident captured Biden's conversation with Senator Michael Bennet, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, and Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg following his address. Biden mentioned having a "come-to-Jesus meeting" with Netanyahu, implying the need for a serious discussion.

Furthermore, Biden recently suggested that Netanyahu's policies in relation to the war in Gaza were doing more harm than good to Israel. He expressed concerns about the loss of innocent lives and stated that it was contrary to what Israel stands for, deeming it a significant mistake.

Commenting on the matter, Trump criticized Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer's recent remarks, in which Schumer called for new elections in Israel and claimed that Netanyahu had "lost his way." Trump agreed with Schumer's assessment that the Democrats were bad for Israel.

Schumer, a self-proclaimed lifelong supporter of Israel, highlighted the need for a change in Israeli leadership, citing a rapidly evolving world and a governing vision that he believed was stuck in the past.

The ongoing discourse surrounding the Israel policy of the Biden administration has sparked debates on the best approach to address the conflict in the region and support Israel while upholding humanitarian concerns.

As the conversation continues, it remains to be seen how President Biden's policies will evolve and whether they will bring about the desired outcomes for Israel and its people.
