@middleeasteye: Donald Trump has lauded Miriam Adelson for her pivotal role in shaping American pro-Israel policies. Singling her out as he spoke to the Knesset yesterday, Trump joked that she and her late husband Sheldon had visited the White House more times that anyone else, and that the pair facilitated key policy decisions such as the US embassy relocation to Jerusalem and the recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights. The Adelson family donated around $100 million to Trump's re-election campaign, spending a further $500 million on other Republican causes. Miriam's role in organisations like the Maccabee Task Force, a conservative Zionist organisation founded in 2015 to counter the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement on college campuses, highlights her ongoing impact on US foreign policy toward Israel.
