Earlier on Thursday, Trump said, “There will be no future under Comrade Kamala Harris, because she will take us into a Nuclear World War III! She will never be respected by the Tyrants of the World!

He made the remarks after Harris in her acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) spoke about the war in Gaza, The Washington Post reported. Trump took to his Truth Social account to make statements against Harris over her speech.

In her address, Harris said, “I will always stand up for Israel’s right to defend itself, and I will always ensure Israel can defend itself, because the people of Israel must never again face the horror that a terrorist organization called Hamas caused,” Harris said, also stressing the widespread suffering of Palestinians,” according to The Washington Post report.

Earlier in the day, Israel declared an emergency for the next 48 hours amid the country’s escalating tensions with Lebanon. Israel’s Defense Minister, Yoav Gallant, declared an emergency. This comes as a “special situation in the home front,” which enables the IDF Home Front Command to issue restrictions.

In emergencies, the legal term “special situation” is used to give authorities more authority over the civilian population, simplifying attempts to protect them. It is valid for 48 hours, unless extended by cabinet ministers.
