FormerĀ President TrumpĀ on Tuesday claimed Democrats ā€œhate Israelā€ and that Jewish voters who back Democrats hate their religion amid tensions between the Biden administration and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Trump, speaking with conservative radio hostĀ Sebastian Gorka,Ā was asked why Democrats like Senate Majority LeaderĀ Chuck SchumerĀ (D-N.Y.) ā€œhateā€ Netanyahu, a reference to Schumerā€™sĀ recent call for new electionsĀ in Israel.

ā€œI actually think they hate Israel,ā€ Trump responded. ā€œAnd the Democrat Party hates Israel.ā€

          I mean, Iā€™m fairly certain of what theyā€™re trying to imply; Iā€™m just trying to get them to say it out loud so we can remove all doubt as to their bigotry.
