Trump Says Jewish People 'Don't Love Israel Enough' Amid Complaint About Lack of Support [View all]

Throughout his presidency, Trump portrayed himself as a loyal supporter of Israel and bolstered his administration's work in fostering pacts between Israel and Gulf states. While the hope was that his actions would drive support with Jewish voters, his alignment with Israel wasn't enough to sway Jewish voters to support Republicans.

In an interview with Ami Magazine, an international publication that's geared toward the Orthodox Jewish community, Trump said he was "surprised" about the lack of Jewish votes he received.

"I did the Heights, I did Jerusalem, and I did Iran—the Iran Deal was a disaster, right?" Trump said. "Jewish people who live in the United States don't love Israel enough."

This isn't the first time Trump took issue with the perceived lack of support for Israel among Jewish people in America. In 2019, during a speech at the Israeli American Council Summit, Trump said there are Jewish people that are "great" but they "don't love Israel enough."
