Former President Donald Trump on Monday charged that Jews who vote for Democrats “hate Israel' and hate “their religion,” igniting a firestorm of criticism from the White House and Jewish leaders. Trump, in an interview, had been asked about Democrats' growing criticism of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over his handling of the war in Gaza as the civilian death toll continues to mount. “I actually think they hate Israel,” Trump responded to his former aide, Sebastian Gorka.
Trump's comments come as Biden has been facing mounting pressure from the progressive wing of his party over his administration’s support for Israel in its retaliatory offensive in Gaza. More than 30,000 Palestinians have been killed since Hamas attacked Israel on Oct. 7, according to the Health Ministry in the Hamas-ruled territory. While Biden continues to back Israel’s right to defend itself, he has increasingly criticized Netanyahu.
