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.”
Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
