In a remote address to Jewish donors, Trump claimed Kamala Harris would abandon Israel if elected, stating, "You are not going to have an Israel if she becomes president." He suggested that terrorist groups would exploit a Democratic presidency to further threaten Israel's existence, asserting, "Israel will no longer exist." His comments implied that Harris's presidency would destabilize the U.S.-Israel relationship severely, leading to dire consequences for Jews worldwide.
Trump emphasized his past actions regarding Israel, claiming, "I think you have to explain that to your people. Because they don't know it. They have no idea what they are getting into." This statement highlighted his belief that Jewish voters are unaware of the implications of supporting Democratic candidates who he claims do not prioritize Israel's security.
Addressing concerns about the political landscape, Trump stated, "Who are the 50 percent of Jewish people that are voting for these people that hate Israel and don't like the Jewish people?" He questioned the motivations of Jewish voters who support Democrats, implying that such choices are detrimental to Israel and the Jewish community.
In contrast, the Harris campaign responded by highlighting her unwavering commitment to Israel, with spokesperson Morgan Finkelstein stating, "The Vice President stands steadfastly against anti-Semitism and has been a lifelong supporter of the State of Israel as a secure, democratic homeland for the Jewish people." This positioned Harris as a formidable advocate for Jewish interests.
