Israeli Government Minister Endorses Trump on Day Biden Signs Aid Package for Israel: ‘Vote for Trump and Republicans’

President Joe Biden signed a $95 billion aid package for Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan on Wednesday.

The president is facing mounting pressure over his support for Israel during its ongoing war in Gaza, but he brushed aside those criticisms.

“My commitment to Israel,” he said, “is ironclad.”

Biden has repeatedly green-lit aid to Israel and even twice bypassed Congress to deliver it. But despite the president’s unwavering support, not everyone in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government is impressed.

“The U.S. is not projecting strength under [Biden’s] leadership, and it’s harming Israel and other countries,” Diaspora Minister Amichai Chikli said in a radio interview in Israel. “He said ‘Don’t’ at the start of the war — to Hezbollah, as well as Iran. We saw the result.”

Chikli then weighed in on the presidential election in which Biden is set for a 2020 rematch with former President Donald Trump.

“If I were an American citizen with the right to vote, I’d vote for Trump and Republicans,” he said.

The interview drew the attention of MSNBC’s Chris Hayes on Wednesday’s All In.

Hayes said the comment “perhaps explains [why] Republicans are suddenly so interested in assailing student protests against the war rather than asking all the questions that have been outstanding throughout this conflict from the very first day after the atrocity that Hamas committed.”

The host went on to ask, “What is the endpoint here? And how many people have to die? How many is tolerable? How many tens of thousands? How many children? And how will the hostages come home? And with the specter of even more mass destruction looming ahead, how will the people of Gaza find anything approaching a habitable future?”
