Former U.S. President Donald Trump asserted on Tuesday, March 24, 2026, that adversaries once aimed to seize control of the Middle East and eliminate Israel. The statement comes amid ongoing global scrutiny of international conflicts and power dynamics in the region.
Speaking to reporters in Palm Beach before departing for Memphis, Trump stated, “Nobody even thought of it. They wanted to take the Middle East and destroy Israel forever. If they had a nuclear weapon, they could have done it.”
The remarks highlight concerns about potential threats to regional stability and the proliferation of nuclear weapons. The development underscores growing regional tensions and the continued importance of diplomatic efforts to prevent escalation.
