American President Donald Trump tried to win the votes of American Jewish voters through a speech in Florida, during which he described himself as "the best friend Israel has had in its history."
Trump considered, during a conference in Hollywood, Florida, that American Jews made a mistake in voting for Democrats under his predecessor, Barack Obama, and he told the audience: “Many of you voted for people in the previous administration. Much".
"On the other hand, Israel has never had a better friend in the White House than your president, Donald Trump," he added. Trump's comments came during a meeting of the Israeli-American Council, a non-profit organization, whose financiers include the tycoon of American Jewish billionaire casinos, Sheldon Adelson, and his wife Myriam, both of whom are Trump's most prominent supporters.
Jews constitute only a small portion of the electorate in Florida, but their influence is strong and decisive in the swing state, which can change its camp between Republicans and Democrats from one election to another, and historically most Jews have always voted in favor of Democrats.
Since taking power, Trump has transformed the policy pursued by the United States in the Middle East for decades, through his compliance with a series of Israeli demands, and in this context, he recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, and recognized the sovereignty of the Israeli occupation over the Golan Heights, and last November, his administration announced It will stop calling Israeli settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territories in the West Bank illegal, abandoning decades of international consensus on this issue.
