Former US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman announced that he is endorsing former US President Donald Trump for the 2024 Presidential Election.
“I was privileged to have worked with President Trump and his team in setting and implementing his Middle East policies and I am very proud of our historic achievements. I believe that it is in America”s best interests to strongly support Israel. No president has more strongly supported Israel than President Donald J. Trump and I endorse him for President of the United States.” Friedman wrote on Twitter Tuesday.
Friedman served as Trump’s Ambassador to Israel from 2017-2021, and was involved in many of the Trump Administration’s pro-Israel acts, including the recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and the relocation of the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

The endorsement comes as other former Trump Administration employees have criticized the former president after he was indicted on 37 counts, including 31 counts of willful retention of national defense information, according to the indictment.
Former US Attorney General Bill Barr told Fox News Sunday that Trump is “toast” if “even half” of the material in his indictment is true and called the details of the indictment “very damning.”
“This idea of presenting Trump as a victim here–the victim of a witch hunt–is ridiculous. Yes, he’s been a victim in the past. Yes his adversaries have obsessively pursued him with phony claims, and I’ve been at his side defending him when he is a victim, but this is much different. He’s not a victim here,” Barr added.
“He was totally wrong that he had the right to have those documents. Those documents are among the most sensitive secrets the country has,” continued the former Attorney General.
In addition, former US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley, who is also seeking the Republican nomination for the 2024 presidential race, said that Trump was “incredibly reckless” if the charges against him turn out to be true.
Trump, who arrived in Miami on Monday evening, is set to appear in federal court in Miami this afternoon.
On Saturday, Trump denounced the indictment against him in a speech in Georgia, calling it “ridiculous and baseless.”
