Donald Trump has stated that Israel will be “totally abandon” if United States Vice President Kamala Harris is elected to the White House in November.

The former president said this while addressing Jewish donors in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Thursday. 

“You are going to be abandoned if she becomes president, and I think you have to explain that to your people. Because they don’t know it. They have no idea what they are getting into,” Trump said in a remote address to the Republican Jewish Coalition.

“You are not going to have an Israel … if she becomes president. Israel will no longer exist.”

He added that he would ban refugees from “terror-infested areas” including Gaza, arrest “pro-Hamas thugs” who vandalise government property, and cancel funding and accreditation for universities that spread “anti-Semitic propaganda” if elected to a second term.

Trump also took aim at Jewish people who vote for Democratic candidates, claiming he had done more for Israel than any other US president.

“Who are the 50 percent of Jewish people that are voting for these people that hate Israel and don’t like the Jewish people?” he said. “Why are they, why are they voting? How do they exist?”
