Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump tells a rally held in Jerusalem that he will work to make “America and Israel safe again.”
“I love Israel and honor and respect the Jewish tradition and its important we have a president who feels the same way,” Trump says in a recorded video message.
Several hundred Israeli supporters are gathered in Jerusalem for a rally to support Trump and affirm the Jewish people’s ties to Jerusalem in light of recent UNESCO resolutions that have ignored them.
“My administration will stand side-by-side with the Jewish people and Israel’s leaders to continue strengthening the bridges that connect, not only Jewish Americans and Israelis, but also all Americans and Israelis,” Trump says.
“Together we will stand up to enemies, like Iran, bent on destroying Israel and her people, together we will make Israel and her people safe again,” he says.
