Former President and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is set to deliver a speech at the annual national summit of the Israeli American Council (IAC), which will be held in Washington next weekend.
This year, the conference will mark the one-year anniversary of the October 7th massacre, featuring the participation of surviving captives, American public officials, and senior Israeli figures.
The organization stated that Vice President and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris has also been invited to speak at the event, along with President Joe Biden.
Confirmed speakers include Douglas Murray, a journalist, bestselling author, and renowned Israel advocate; Andrei Kozlov, who was held hostage by Hamas and freed in a daring IDF operation; Reza Pahlavi, the Crown Prince of Iran; U.S. Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Antisemitism Ambassador Deborah Lipstadt, and other influencers and opinion leaders.
According to the organizers, the IAC annual conference is the largest pro-Israel gathering in America, and this year it is expected to draw about 4,000 participants from the Jewish and Israeli communities across the US.
"Over the last year, Israel and the Jewish People have been at war on the battlefield, on college campuses, in the media, and on social networks," said IAC CEO Elan Carr, former U.S. Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Antisemitism.
"This year's Summit provides a critical opportunity for our community to unite with focus and purpose. Together we will embrace the families of the fallen and those taken hostage, salute the IDF heroes who defend Israel day and night, support the students standing up for Israel on campus, and recognize those fighting for Israel's global standing. Most importantly, as we approach the first anniversary of the horrific massacre of Oct. 7, we will unite as one people, in one voice, to declare: Am Yisrael Chai!". Carr added.
