Former President Donald Trump said Monday that Israel would not have been attacked on Oct. 7 if he had still been president, pledging to "solve" the "horrible" situation if he is reelected in November.

In his victory speech after winning the Iowa caucuses by a landslide with 20 delegates, the Republican front-runner for the White House said President Joe Biden is the "worst president that we've had in the history of this country."

Trump, who served as president from 2017-21, said that if he had remained in Washington, "Russia would not have attacked [Ukraine], Israel would never have been attacked."

He said that those two issues will be resolved quickly if he is voted back into office.

"The Ukraine situation is so horrible, the Israeli situation is so horrible, what's happened. We're going to get them solved, we are going to get them solved very fast," he said.
