Trump: ‘Israel Will Cease to Exist if I am Not Elected President’

Ex-President Donald Trump, appearing at a pair of pro-Israel events, dramatically told attendees there that Israel “will cease to exist within two years” if American Jews vote for the Democratic presidential nominee, Vice President Harris.

His comments have gone viral all over the social media with graphics of him and Harris with images of him deadly serious at the allegations he is making.

The same images show the Democratic president having a whale of a time, smiling, not appearing to be laughing off at what he is saying.

In his Washington speech at an antisemitism event, Thursday, Trump claimed he will be the “defender” of Jewish-Americans but he has to win back the White House seat, adding that if he doesn’t win it will be their fault, the voters.

“You have to defeat Kamala Harris more than any other people on Earth. Israel, I believe, has to defeat her. I’ve never said this before,” he said.

“My promise to Jewish Americans is this: With your vote, I will be your defender, your protector, and I will be the best friend Jewish Americans have ever had in the White House,” Trump bombasted.

“I’m at 40%; that means you got 60% voting for somebody that hates Israel,” Trump said, alluding to the vice president.

He told his audiences that they must turn the percentages around because “I was the best president ever for the people of Israel and Jewish people. I did more for them than any president and probably any president can or will do.”

Trump added that the Democrats are bad for “Israel, very bad…” and are taking away the pro-Israel groups’ lobbying power.

“Over the past 12 months, Kamala Harris has repeatedly demanded an immediate cease-fire to save Hamas,” accusing the Biden administration of “building a $237 million pier to save Hamas….every time there was a little rain, it fell apart,” he said.

“She has even suggested she would put a full arms embargo on Israel,” he continued.

“If these are positions she takes before the election, just wait to see what she does after the election.”

Later in the evening, at an event for the Israeli American Council, Trump continued the same theme.

Again, he appealed to Jewish-American voters whilst blaming them for not treating him properly, repeating again that he believed “Israel, in my opinion, will cease to exist within two years, and I believe I’m 100 percent,” if he is not elected as the next president of the United States.

Earlier in the night, at the antisemitism event, Trump called on his Democratic opponent to “disavow the support of all Hamas sympathizers, anti-Semites, Israel haters, on college campuses and everywhere else,” according to the Quds News Network.

Moroccans Hold 110 Protests Against Israeli Genocide

About 110 protests in 66 cities in Morocco were held, Friday, condemning the Israeli genocide on Gaza. The demonstrations were organized by the Moroccan Association for the Support of the Nation’s Causes

The Association, an NGO stressed in a statement “the Moroccan people took part in 110 demonstrations in 66 cities in support of Gaza on the 73rd Al-Aqsa Flood Friday, organized under the slogan: Gaza Cries Out to You.”

It added participants condemn the ongoing genocide in Gaza and the accompanying crimes of killing, displacement, starvation, and siege, in addition to the targeting of all aspects of a dignified life guaranteed by all international norms and conventions, in light of “the largest killing operation in history” as reported by Anadolu.

Since 2 March, 2025, Israel closed the Gaza Strip’s crossings and banned the entry of food, relief, medical aid, and goods, causing a significant deterioration in the humanitarian situation of Palestinians, according to governmental, human rights, and international reports.

The genocide continues amid “blatant and unjustified official international silence,” the Assocoation maintained.

It noted that the protesters affirmed their continued “support and assistance to Gaza and all of Palestine until the aggression stops and the Palestinian people are empowered to fully exercise their rights.”

Solidarity demonstrations were held all over the Kingdom including in Casablanca, Inzegane, Oujda, Meknes, Kelaat Sraghna, Tangier, and Tetouan.

In early March, the first phase of a ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement between Hamas and Israel, which went into effect on January 19, 2025, concluded with Egyptian and Qatari mediation and American support.

While Hamas adhered to the terms of the first phase, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is wanted by the International Criminal Court, renounced the start of the second phase in response to extremists in his ruling coalition, according to Hebrew media.

Since March 18, Israel has resumed its genocidal crimes by launching violent, widespread airstrikes, most of which targeted civilians in homes and tents housing displaced persons.

With full American support, Israel has been committing genocide in Gaza since October 7, 2023, leaving more than 168,000 Palestinians dead and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 11,000 missing.

The Israeli Army Kills 212 Gaza Journalists

The Israeli army has killed 212 Palestinian journalists in the Gaza Strip since the beginning of its genocidal war in October 2023.

In a statement, the Gaza-based Government Media Office reported that the journalist death toll in Gaza has risen to 212. The latest victim was journalist Saeed Abu Hassanein, who died from wounds sustained in an earlier Israeli airstrike in Khan Younis, southern Gaza.

The statement noted that Abu Hassanein was a journalist working at the local Al-Aqsa Radio.

It strongly condemned the Israeli systemic targeting of journalists, urging the International Federation of Journalists, the Arab Journalists Union, and all press organizations worldwide to condemn Israeli crimes and prosecute it before international courts.

The Israeli army resumed its assault on Gaza on March 18, shattering a Jan. 19 ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement according to Anadolu.

Israel has killed over 51,400 Palestinians in the enclave since October 2023, most of them women and children.

Last November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.​​​​​​​

Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave.
