News - World: Former US President Donald Trump said that “the biggest change he saw in Congress was the transfer of power from legislators under the influence of Israel to anti-Israel politicians, and Israel literally owned Congress."

Trump criticized Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and other members of the so-called "squad" of progressive Democratic lawmakers in the US Congress, who have firm positions against pro-Israel policy.

“The biggest change I’ve seen in Congress is Israel literally owned Congress — you understand that — 10 years ago, 15 years ago. And it was so powerful. It was so powerful. And today it’s almost the opposite,” Trump said.

Trump made it clear that the Israelis are excited about his re-election, and are thankful for his role in the Ebrahim agreements, which they signed late last year with Arab countries, including the UAE and Bahrain.

“I was lovingly told that I could run for prime minister and win in Israel I didn’t get the votes of the Jews you think I would get in America, many of them don’t like Israel, look at the New York Times” Trump said.
