Trump said to warn Jewish donor that MAGA world ‘starting to hate Israel’

US President Donald Trump recently warned a Jewish campaign donor that his MAGA base was beginning to turn on Israel, the Financial Times reports.

“My people are starting to hate Israel,” Trump is quoted as having told the unnamed donor recently, citing a Mideast expert, also unnamed, with contacts inside the Trump administration.

The report describes the donor as “prominent.”

“There are people in the White House who are watching this narrative develop in the right wing, in the MAGA world, that is very anti-Israel, very anti-Jewish,” the expert is quoted saying.

The comments come as Israel has come under increasing criticism, including from Trump and other Republicans, due to images of hunger emerging from Gaza.

On Monday, far-right Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, a MAGA stalwart who has promulgated antisemitic conspiracy theories and routinely calls for an end to foreign aid, called what is happening in Gaza “genocide.”

“It’s the most truthful and easiest thing to say that Oct 7th in Israel was horrific and all hostages must be returned, but so is the genocide, humanitarian crisis, and starvation happening in Gaza,” she wrote on X.

On Tuesday, US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee denied the existence of a rift between Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, calling it a “false” media narrative.

“The disconnect is with the media [that] wants there to be an anti-Israel message that they keep getting across; but it’s a false message,” Huckabee said.
