Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump opens a campaign office near Tel Aviv, his third in Israel.
The Ramat Gan office is located near the city’s diamond district and will serve central Israel, in the Gush Dan and Sharon regions, Israel National News reports.
It joins offices in Jerusalem and Modiin. A fourth office is scheduled to be opened in the West Bank, according to the report.

“Offices are being opened, but more importantly we are getting dozens of inquiries from Americans and Israelis eager to join in the campaign,” Republicans Overseas Israel said late Wednesday in a post on its Facebook page.
There are believed to be hundreds of thousands of American Israelis who are eligible to vote in the US election, according to Israeli news reports. Many come from Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York and California — states with a high number of electoral votes or swing states.
