The American Jewish Committee has criticised the president and said his remarks could 'feed bigotry'.
Israel is holding a general election in the coming days, with Mr Netanyahu vowing to"impose sovereignty" on the occupied West Bank if he is returned to office.
The incumbent faces a tight race against former military chief Benny Gantz, although his Likud party has a better chance of forming a ruling coalition, according to polls.Mr Trump also appeared to conflate the Republican group in Las Vegas with all US Jews when he asked how they could have supported his predecessor.Members of the coalition reportedly shouted back:"We didn't.
The US president also poked fun at Democratic representative Ilhan Omar, who has been accused of making antisemitic remarks."Oh I forgot, she doesn't like Israel I forgot. I'm so sorry." Mr Trump later touched on the issue of migrants entering the US across the southern border, and painted a picture of what he suggests a Central or South American migrant might look like."We don't love the fact that he's carrying the flag of Honduras or Guatemala or El Salvador, only to say that he's petrified to be in this country.
"The asylum programme is a scam, [the migrants are] some of the roughest people that you have ever seen, people that look like they should be fighting for the UFC."as he inspected a refurbished section of steel fencing along the Mexican border on Friday.
