Israeli minister says he would vote for Trump in US elections 

An Israeli minister of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party said he would vote for Donald Trump in the upcoming US elections if he could.  

Amichai Chikli, the diaspora affairs minister, said that the US under Joe Biden’s leadership was "harming Israel and other countries" and not "projecting strength". 

“He said ‘Don’t’ at the start of the war - to Hezbollah, as well as Iran. We saw the result. If I were an American citizen with the right to vote I’d vote for Trump and Republicans,” Chikli told Kan Radio. 

“Biden is a friend of Israel, but he’s under intense pressure that is affecting him and creating real damage to relations between the countries," he added.
