The Gaza invasion of Israel on October 7th, 2023 marked one of the “worst days in history,” said President Donald Trump in Doha on Thursday.

During a meeting with business leaders in the Qatari capital, Trump lamented the 2023 invasion of southwestern Israel, during which some 1,200 people were killed and over 250 taken hostage.

October 7th was “one of the worst days in the history of the world, not only in this region,” the president said, calling it “one of the worst, most atrocious attacks anyone has ever seen.”
