At the Israeli American Council Summit in Washington on Thursday, President Donald Trump discussed the critical nature of the upcoming U.S. election, describing it as the most important in both U.S. and Israeli history.

He noted his disappointment in receiving only 24% of the Jewish vote despite what he claimed were significant accomplishments for Israel during his presidency, such as recognizing Jerusalem as its capital and brokering the Abraham Accords.

Trump stated he believed he was the best president for Israel and detailed his administration’s efforts, emphasizing that he provided over $20 billion in support. He expressed concern that if he didn’t win the election, Israel could be in grave danger, suggesting it might not survive the next few years under a different administration.

The President is introduced by I.A.C. Chief Elan Carr and Mrs. Miriam Adelson - in the presence of Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. Michael Herzog.

Mr. Trump criticized the current Democratic leadership, particularly Vice President Kamala Harris, and called for the Jewish community to unite and vote, arguing that failing to do so would put at risk Israel and Jewish people around the world at risk. Trump highlighted the stark contrast between his popularity in Israel and his support in the U.S., claiming he had a 99% favorable rating among Israelis.

He concluded by stressing the urgency of the situation, urging attendees to reject anti-Semitism and support pro-Israel policies at the ballot box, asserting that the future of Israel depended on their actions in the upcoming election.
