Trump: Israel 'will not exist' if Kamala Harris wins

Former US President Donald Trump said that the victory of Vice President Kamala Harris in the US presidential elections next November means that Israel will no longer exist.


Trump said in a speech before the Republican Jewish Coalition on Thursday that Vice President Kamala Harris' victory in the US presidential elections next November means that Israel will no longer exist.


"If Kamala Harris wins, terrorist armies will wage a continuous war to expel Jews from the Holy Land," Trump said.


"They don't realize what they're going to face if I become president," Trump added. "Israel will no longer exist."


Harris was part of an administration that provided a steady stream of arms to support Israel’s genocidal war in Gaza. She has pledged to continue the arms shipments if she becomes president, but Trump and other Republicans have accused her and President Biden of “abandoning” Israel.


Trump indicated in his speech that he would offer strong support for the Israeli offensive in Gaza. “I will support Israel’s right to win its war on terror. We have to win, and we will win fast,” he said. Trump also boasted of the steps he has taken to support Israel during his time in office, including moving the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem and recognizing Israel’s annexation of the Golan Heights from Syria, making the United States the only country to do so. “I did it in 15 minutes,” he said. “They were negotiating it for 52 years. None of it could have been done without me.”


The former president said Jewish Americans who don’t vote for him should have their own “head scan,” something he repeatedly said during his campaign. “I don’t understand how anybody can support them, and I say that all the time. If you have people to support and you’re Jewish, you should have your head scanned,” he said.
