MANASSAS, Va. — Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said Wednesday night that he will travel to Israel soon to meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“I love Israel and Israel is our real strong supporter. Very soon I’m going to Israel and I’ll be meeting with Bibi Netanyahu,” the billionaire told supporters at a campaign rally.
Trump also touted an advertisement he recorded for the Israeli prime minister during Netanyahu’s reelection bid in 2013.
The announcement comes less than 24 hours before Trump is scheduled to participate in a presidential forum hosted by the Republican Jewish Coalition.
A spokeswoman for Trump’s campaign did not respond to the Washington Examiner’s request for further details about the Republican hopeful’s upcoming trip.
