  • An Israeli aliyah-promotion group, Belong, has challenged former U.S. President Donald Trump to move to Israel if he believes his administration's deal with Iran is beneficial.
  • The group released a satirical AI-generated video depicting Trump encouraging global Jewry to immigrate to Israel.
  • The challenge comes as a recent Israeli survey indicates a majority of Israelis view the Iran MoU as a win for Tehran, contrary to Trump's assessment.

An Israeli aliyah-promotion organization, Belong, has issued a direct challenge to former U.S. President Donald Trump, urging him to immigrate to Israel if he genuinely supports his administration's agreement with Iran. The initiative aims to underscore the perceived value and safety implications of the deal.

Belong believes every Jew has a place in Israel’s story. We encourage Jews around the world to take an active role in shaping the future of Israeli society.

— Eilon GiladCEO of Belong, explaining the organization's mission and the intent behind the campaign.

As part of their campaign, Belong released a satirical, AI-generated video. It humorously portrays Trump arriving at Ben-Gurion Airport, stating his purpose is to visit his grandchildren, who reside in "Ramat Trump." At customs, he declares, "Jews of the world, Israel needs you! Come and take what’s yours!" The video concludes with Trump meeting Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, driving towards Ramat Trump, while a narrator questions if they will move to Israel and if the president will celebrate his birthday there.

The video's underlying message questions Trump's commitment to the Iran agreement, suggesting his family's safety should be a priority. This comes after Trump repeatedly praised the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Iran, calling it Iran's "unconditional surrender" in a recent interview. He asserted his power was unlimited in securing this deal.

The Trump video is the first in a series of short AI-generated clips inviting Jews everywhere to claim what is theirs: the opportunity to help build a thriving, democratic, and flourishing Israel.

— Eilon GiladCEO of Belong, describing the broader context of their AI-generated video series.

However, Trump's assessment appears to be an outlier. A recent survey by the Agam Institute and Hebrew University of Jerusalem found that most Israelis perceive the MoU as advantageous for Tehran and detrimental to Israel's long-term security. Belong's campaign seeks to highlight this discrepancy and encourage global Jewish participation in building Israel.

MoU is Iran's 'unconditional surrender'
