The former President suggested tensions could erupt in the Middle East

Donald Trump has warned World War 3 could erupt if Kamala Harris wins the race to the White House in 2024.

Trump, 78, who is seeking to return to the Oval Office after losing in 2020, issued the warning as he met Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at his Mar-a-Lago home.

The 45th President said: "We'll see how it goes. But if it all works out, if we win, it'll be very simple. It's all going to work out. And very quickly. If we don't, you're going to end up with major wars in the Middle East.

"And maybe a third World war. You are closer to a third World War right now than at any time since the Second World War. We've never been so close because we have incompetent people running the country."

Netanyahu was snapped with Trump in Florida after meeting Kamala Harris in Washington.

Trump claimed the Vice President, who is the frontrunner to secure the Democratic nomination after Joe Biden dropped out last Sunday, is "worse" on Middle East issues.

During Harris' meeting with Netanyahu, the Vice President told the Israeli Prime Minister: "I will always ensure that Israel is able to defend itself, including from Iran and Iran-backed militias such as Hamas and Hezbollah."

She added: "I also expressed with the Prime Minister my serious concern about the scale of human suffering in Gaza, including the death of far too many innocent civilians. And I made clear my serious concern about the dire humanitarian situation there."
