A leader of the Israeli settlers in the occupied Palestinian territories, Yossi Dagan, threw his support behind far-right US President Donald Trump, urging “Americans who love the “Land of the Bible” to support him on the next presidential elections.

“Trump has done amazing things for Israel and the Jewish people in the last four years,” Dagan said at a special media event on Sunday, October 25, at the West Bank Barkan settlement. “If you want to help the Jewish people to build our homeland, the Bible Land here in Judea and Samaria, you must vote for Donald Trump, a real friend of the State of Israel,” Dagan said.

“We remember the eight terrible years of the Obama and Biden administration. We remember the building freeze, the vote against Israel in the United Nations. We do not want to see this again. Everyone who loves and cares about Israel, Jews and Christians, if you care about us, the Jewish people in Judea and Samaria, go out and vote for President Donald Trump,” Dagan said. During the 2016 election, Dagan had been one of the first far-right Israeli politicians to unabashedly endorse Trump.
