Trump Sets His Sights on Israel’s Skyline
Developer/reality television star Donald Trump announced last week that he is planning to build a new tower in Israel.
The 70-story edifice, which is to be built on the Ramat Gan site now occupied by the Elite candy company, would be the country’s tallest — a distinction that, since 2003, has belonged to Ramat Gan’s City Gate skyscraper.
“We are developing a signature landmark property so impressive that it will set a new standard for luxury condominium living in Israel,” Trump said with characteristic modesty. “I am confident that Israel’s future can only go one direction, and that is up.”
I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning journalism this Passover.
In this age of misinformation, our work is needed like never before. We report on the news that matters most to American Jews, driven by truth, not ideology.
At a time when newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall. That means for the first time in our 126-year history, Forward journalism is free to everyone, everywhere. With an ongoing war, rising antisemitism, and a flood of disinformation that may affect the upcoming election, we believe that free and open access to Jewish journalism is imperative.
Readers like you make it all possible. Right now, we’re in the middle of our Passover Pledge Drive and we need 500 people to step up and make a gift to sustain our trustworthy, independent journalism.
