Trump warns Jewish donors of risks under potential Harris presidency in Las Vegas

During a speech at the Republican Jewish Coalition summit in Las Vegas, Donald Trump warned Jewish donors that a potential presidency of Kamala Harris would lead to their abandonment and jeopardize Israel's future. He made claims about banning refugee resettlement from areas he labeled as 'terror-infested' and suggested that pro-Hamas individuals would face arrest for vandalism. Trump also criticized US universities for what he termed 'antisemitic propaganda' and threatened to revoke their accreditation and federal support if they did not comply with his demands. Trump's remarks come amid heightened tensions surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, particularly following the recent military actions in Gaza that have resulted in significant casualties. He pointed out that under both his and Biden's administrations, the number of Palestinian refugees admitted to the US has been similar, indicating a continuity in policy rather than a shift. The speech also highlighted the ongoing protests at US universities, where students have been vocal against Israel's military actions, leading to accusations from Republicans that such protests reflect antisemitism among some Democrats. In contrast, the Harris campaign has maintained a strong pro-Israel stance, despite calls from within the Democratic party for a reassessment of military support to Israel due to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. As the political landscape evolves, Trump's comments underscore the contentious nature of US foreign policy regarding Israel and the Palestinian territories, as well as the implications for Jewish communities in America. The response from the Harris campaign remains to be seen, as the election approaches and debates over these critical issues intensify.
