U.S. President Donald Trump addressed the October 7 massacre. He wrote on his social media platform Truth Social that "Today, three years ago, the world witnessed one of the darkest and most evil days in Israel's history. Innocent men, women and children were murdered, kidnapped and subjected to unimaginable horrors at the hands of Hamas terrorists." According to Trump, "Today we remember every innocent life that was taken, honor the survivors and their families, and remember the hostages who endured the unimaginable. We will never forget October 7. We will never forget the victims, and we will always stand against the forces of terror and evil."
