“For Israelis, the attack on October 7 was the most severe military invasion and terrorist attack in 75 years.”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
Wikipedia confirms the October 7 attacks were coordinated armed incursions by Hamas and other groups. While the 'most severe in 75 years' is a descriptive characterization, the event's scale and nature are documented as a major military/terrorist attack in Israel's history.

“We have two years and nine more months of Trump being in the White House.”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
Wikipedia confirms Donald Trump's second tenure as the 47th president began on January 20, 2025. A standard US presidential term is 4 years; if he started in Jan 2025, he would have roughly 3 years and 11 months remaining. The claim of 'two years and nine months' suggests the current date is approximately mid-2026, which aligns with the '2026 Iran war' evidence provided.
