Trump on Iran-Israel conflict: Like two kids fighting in school yard

Former US President Donald Trump on Wednesday compared the conflict between Israel and Hamas to two kids fighting in a school lyard. He said that incidents like Tuesday's rocket attack on Israel should never have occurred, also adding that the US will be deeply involved in the Middle East.

"This has really been bad, but they have to finish that process. Think of it like two kids fighting in the school yard. Sometimes you have to just let it go a little bit, we'll see what happens," the Republican candidate for the US presidential election said.

He added, "But it's a horrible, horrible war. And then you see what's happening even today. You know, where is that going to stop? You look at these forces. They shot down almost 200 rockets today. But this is not the way anybody should have to live. So we're obviously going to be very involved in the Middle East. This would never have happened".
