Donald Trump, the former president, stated that Israel must help him in defeating Vice President Kamala Harris in the November election.
On Thursday evening, Trump delivered a speech to the right-wing Israeli-American Council in Washington, D.C. Miriam Adelson and her late spouse, Sheldon Adelson, the casino mogul, have provided financial support to the organization.
Trump expressed his dissatisfaction with the lack of support from Jewish voters in his remarks, despite his efforts to normalize relations between Israel and a small number of Muslim-majority states through his work on the Abraham Accords and the relocation of the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
In an unusual move, he also urged Israel to “defeat” the Democratic presidential nominee.
“Now, we’re going to defeat Kamala Harris. You have to defeat Kamala Harris. More than any other people on Earth, Israel, I believe, has to defeat her. You know that? And I’ve never said this before. And I’m thinking, Miriam, more than any people on Earth, Israel has to defeat her. I really believe that. It’s a disaster for Israel, and you know why.” Trump said.
