Senior Israeli Orthodox rabbis urge Americans to vote for Trump
A group of Jewish settlers in the Palestinian West Bank also prayed for the US president's victory at Abraham's tomb on Monday.
A group of religious-nationalist rabbis in Israel have signed a letter urging Americans to re-elect President Donald Trump ahead of Tuesday’s election. The US commander-in-chief is popular in Israel and the letter focused on his tough policies on Iran.
The letter was signed by several prominent religious-nationalist rabbis, including Chaim Druckman of the Jewish Home Party and Dov Lior of the far-right Otzma Yehudit. The Israeli media outlet Makor Rishon published the letter, which began by praising Trump’s Iran policy.
“President Trump blocked Iran’s nuclear program,” said the rabbis, calling the program the “greatest threat to world peace.”
Countering Iran is a major policy objective for the Trump administration, read the letter.
