Former US President Donald Trump told a predominantly Jewish audience in Washington on Thursday that Israel will be “wiped off the face of the earth” if he does not win the US presidential election in November.
Trump claimed to be pro-Israel, claiming that Israel “wouldn’t exist in two years” if his rival, Democrat Kamala Harris, became president. He specifically stated that he supports a ceasefire and an arms embargo on Israel, both of which he reportedly opposes.
As part of the “Fight Against Anti-Semitism” campaign event at the Israeli American Council National Summit, Trump drew parallels between himself and the “persecution” of Israel and Jews in the US.
He pointed out that Harris was leading in the polls among Jewish voters and also attacked Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, who is Jewish, as a “Hamas all the way.” “I don’t know what the hell happened to him. If you support him, you’re crazy,” Trump told the crowd.
“These are people who don’t know what they’re doing. They should all have been fired. I will support Israel’s right to win its war on terror, and it must win it quickly. I will always defend Israel’s fundamental right to exist as a Jewish nation in the Jewish homeland. That’s what it’s all about, right?”
Trump: “Harris wants to save Hamas”
If Harris wins, “instead of the most Israel-friendly president of all time, as I have been proclaimed” (Trump’s original tone), Israel will have by far the most Israel-hostile president, he explained. Kamala Harris “has repeatedly called for an immediate ceasefire to save Hamas. She wants to save Hamas.”
“Israel will cease to exist within two years if it becomes president,” Trump said. “Just four years ago, when I left office, the United States and Israel were safer, closer, and stronger than ever before. Yes,” Trump claimed.
