Former President Donald Trump has accused Joe Biden of being a "bad Palestinian" during the first presidential debate of the upcoming US election, triggering outrage and accusations of racism. The bizarre comment occurred during a foreign policy segment of the 90-minute debate, hosted by CNN on Thursday. After being asked about how his administration would end the war, Biden reiterated the three-step-plan he set out last month to attain a ceasefire and accused Hamas of being "the only ones who want the war to continue". Trump responded by advocating for Israel to continue its war, saying "actually, Israel is the one, and you should let them go and let them finish the job".
