Relations with Trump more important than condemning Nazis: Israel's communications minister

Jerusalem [Israel], August 21 (ANI): Israel's communications minister Ayoub Kara has said that the government must condemn Nazism, but that the country's bond with U.S. President Donald Trump is more important.

Kara, who is reportedly one of the ministers close to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has said that the country must move to protect Trump following outrage at how the US President responded to violence at a neo-Nazi rally in Charlottesville, Virginia that leads to death of a woman, the Independent reported.

"We need to condemn anti-Semitism and any trace of Nazism, and I will do what I can as a minister to stop its spread. But Trump is the best US leader Israel has ever had. His relations with the prime minister of Israel are wonderful, and after enduring the terrible years of Obama, Trump is the unquestioned leader of the free world, and we must not accept anyone harming him," Israel's communications minister told the local media.

Kara also praised the President Trump for having "a proven track record in opposing anti-Semitism and religious extremism".

Equally to Trump, Netanyahu faced criticism for not condemning the violence in America, but finally tweeted that he was "outraged by expressions of anti-Semitism, neo-Nazism and racism" and that "everyone should oppose this hatred."

Without connection to Kara's remarks, science, technology and space minister and a former spokesman for Netanyahu Ofir Akunis, wrote on social media platform Facebook that "Nazis and neo-Nazis are a nauseating phenomenon that is dangerous and must not be tolerated in the US or anywhere else in the world."
