Eric Trump faced pointed questions from students at Auburn University regarding his father's stance on Israel and its relationship with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. During a Turning Point USA event, Eric addressed concerns about former President Trump's frustrations with both sides in the ongoing Israel-Iran conflict, acknowledging that these tensions have influenced policy decisions, including military actions against Iran.

Eric emphasized the threat posed by Iran's nuclear ambitions and its hostility toward the United States, arguing that such dangers informed his father's decisions while in office. He also noted that Trump's anger with Netanyahu was sometimes used strategically to pursue peace in the Middle East, and that similar frustrations have arisen with other world leaders.

The discussion highlighted ongoing debates about America's alignment with Israel, especially in light of concerns about the treatment of Christians in the region. Meanwhile, Israel has continued its military operations in Lebanon, targeting Hezbollah positions amid renewed conflict.
