“The Republican platform on Israel is the strongest that either party has ever developed in the history of this country,”
During a closed door meeting with Israelis two weeks ago, Friedman spoke of the unprecedented support that Trump intends to provide to the Jewish state should he be elected president of the United States in November. Evidence of that support, he said, can be seen in the significant changes made to the Republican party’s platform this year.
“I would invite people to compare 2016 to 2012. There is no longer any reference to a two-state solution. There is an affirmative statement that Israel is not an occupier with respect to Judea and Samaria.
“There is a commitment to recognize Jerusalem as the undivided capital of the Jewish people. We’ll move the embassy there. When this platform was passed, the evangelical community, not only did they get up and clap, they were actually crying. They thought this was a day they would never see,” Friedman told the visiting delegation from the Samaria Region of the West Bank.
