Donald Trump’s oldest daughter thinks Israel has a problem — specifically, that it should offer nicer accommodations in its commercial capital. “I think Tel Aviv deserves a true five-star hotel,” Ivanka Trump told the Israeli newspaper Yediot Aharonot last week, speaking on the 17th floor of the city’s Hilton.
The former model, now a tycoon-in-training, made the comments as part of her first visit to Israel, a three-day trip combining business meetings, tours and a local media blitz. Sightseeing stops included Jerusalem’s Old City and Yad Vashem, while the professional portion of the visit focused in part on selling luxury housing in the still-under-construction Trump Tower Philadelphia.
The 26-year-old Trump, a graduate of University of Pennsylvania’s business school, the Wharton School, also met with Israeli real estate developers about local projects, telling Channel 10 News that her father’s company is considering building in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. Though she is planning several more trips to Israel within the coming year, she didn’t waste her time pitching to potential buyers during her debut visit, informing Channel 10 viewers, “Now is the time to buy in the U.S.… because the shekel has never been so strong.”
Eager not to miss a matchmaking opportunity, Trump’s interviewers at Yediot Aharonot asked the heiress whether she might like to get set up with a nice Israeli man. “Yes,” came Trump’s answer — and then, demonstrating a bit of her dad’s ability to delegate, she went on: “Draw up a list, and we’ll choose later.”

Finding a "nice" Israeli man is definitely going to be a challenge, but it's heart-warming to find a nice, rich Jewish girl who is still willing to associate herself with her people and ancient homeland. I hope she doesn't get too disappointed too quickly, and also hope that there is a sincerely nice Jewish man out there for her. My son is available if she's interested. He was born in Israel, a good boy, but is presently serving in the US Navy. And he's not a gold-digger :)
I dont think Ivanka is Jewish
Ivanka is not Jewish, not even a little bit. The only thing remotely "Jewish" about Ivanka is that she was recently dating New York publisher billionare Jared Kushner, whose an observant Jew. They reportedly broke-up because of their religious differences. They might have reunited but I doubt Ivanka will ever convert to Judaism. Hopefully one day Jared and Jack's son will find nice Jewish girls so they can have Jewish families and pass on their ancestors traditions.
