Republican nominee again says Israel would likely cease to exist within two years should the Democrats win.
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has said Jewish-American voters would be partly to blame if he loses the election in November.
The former president lamented that he was trailing his Democratic Party rival, Vice President Kamala Harris, among American Jews, as he addressed the Israeli-American Council National Summit in Washington, DC.
“If I don’t win this election – and the Jewish people would really have a lot to do with that if that happens because if 40 percent, I mean, 60 percent of the people are voting for the enemy – Israel, in my opinion, will cease to exist within two years,” Trump said on Thursday.
Jews would be partly to blame for that outcome in the November 5 presidential election, Trump claimed, saying they tend to vote for Democrats.
He cited an unnamed poll that he said showed Harris polling at 60 percent among American Jews.
