Trump and Harris honour 7 October victims

Both Trump and Harris spent Monday honouring the victims of the 7 October attacks in Israel.

 

Trump made a number of stops, including to the gravesite of the Lubavitcher rebbe in Queens, New York. The rebbe was a Russian-American Orthodox rabbi who is considered one of the most influential Jewish leaders in recent history.

 

From there, Trump went back to his golf club in Doral, Florida, where he met Jewish community leaders for a 7 October remembrance.

 

Harris, meanwhile, planted a memorial tree at her home at the Naval Observatory in Washington, to honour the victims.

 

On 7 October, 2023, Hamas killed about 1,200 people in Israel and took around 250 people hostage in Gaza. Since then, nearly 42,000 people have been killed during Israel’s offensive in Gaza, according to the Hamas-run health Ministry.
