Still wondering about Trump's stance on Israel? Take a look at who celebrated with him on election night at Mar-a-Lago:
1. Elon Musk - The tech mogul who recently visited Israel's war-torn south, met with Netanyahu and hostage families, and attended Netanyahu's Congressional address (unlike Kamala Harris, notably). Not only that, but also Elon threw his full support behind Trump on X, posting frequently in his favor. (and let's not forget that adorable Peanut the Squirrel. When he was kidnapped and murdered, Elon posted throughout the day about where the Dems are placing their focus just days before the election- and it went viral.) Plus offering actual cash to people who voted for him!
2. Robert Kennedy Jr. - A strong Israel supporter who, just three months ago in an interview, vigorously defended both Israel's actions in Gaza and continued U.S. military aid to Israel.
3. Caitlyn Jenner - The Republican transgender activist who has surprisingly become one of Israel's most vocal supporters. She recently confronted pro-Palestinian protesters, boldly calling them "Hamas-loving cowards."
4. Eduardo Bolsonaro - Son of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro. At his rallies, you'll find more Israeli flags than Brazilian ones. His official YouTube channel even features him addressing Brazil's Parliament about Israel's importance as the Middle East's only democracy - set to the music of Hatikvah, Israel's national anthem.
5. Nigel Farage - The deep-right British politician who's been a consistent Israel supporter. He backs the current war effort and previously defended Trump's Muslim travel ban with a pointed observation: "Nobody seems to care when Muslim countries ban Israelis." He's also taken a strong stance against pro-Palestinian movements in Britain.
This guest list reads like a who's who of international pro-Israel advocates. Each person has demonstrated active support for Israel through actions, not just words, suggesting Trump's second term might see an even stronger U.S.-Israel alliance.
Other guests included Dana White - not a politician but the UFC president and a close Trump friend; Byron Donalds, a pro-Israel Republican Senator; and the more controversial Marjorie Taylor Greene.
Greene stands out as potentially problematic for Israel supporters. She's developed a reputation for embracing virtually every conspiracy theory out there, from QAnon to claiming that "a Rothschild space laser caused California wildfires" (yes, really). While she's since apologized for most of her past statements, this November she voted against additional aid to Israel.
In a video explaining her vote, Greene insisted she "absolutely supports Israel" but argued that the U.S. needs to address its southern border crisis before sending $4 billion in foreign aid. Her presence at the victory party presents an interesting contrast to the strongly pro-Israel stance of the other guests.
Notably, the outstanding eloquent gentleman and very vocal Israel advocate Douglas Murray was also there.
