During a speech to Jewish donors, Donald Trump belittled Jewish Americans who vote Democrat, claiming they must “have their head examined.” He told the Republican Jewish Coalition that a potential Kamala Harris presidency would be disastrous for Israel, without providing evidence for his claims. The Harris campaign did not immediately respond to Trump’s comments. Harris has expressed strong support for Israel and has rejected calls from some in the Democratic party to rethink sending weapons to Israel. Trump also spoke about banning refugee resettlement from “terror-infested” areas and arresting “pro-Hamas thugs.” Despite not presenting concrete Middle Eastern policy proposals for a second term, Trump painted a dire picture of a Harris presidency for Israel. Meanwhile, Hunter Biden has pleaded guilty to federal tax charges, facing up to 17 years in prison and $450,000 in penalties. President Joe Biden has said he will not pardon or commute Hunter’s sentence. A national survey shows Harris with a lead over Trump among likely US voters. The US government has unsealed criminal charges against a former adviser to Trump’s 2016 campaign for violating US sanctions. Additionally, a US judge has temporarily halted Biden’s student debt forgiveness plan.
