At a White House Hanukkah party, United States President Donald Trump declared that the 'Jewish lobby' is no longer the most powerful in Washington, attributing this to rising antisemitism in Congress and shifting attitudes toward Israel. Trump made several controversial remarks, including incorrectly claiming that all hostages had been released from Gaza, despite being publicly corrected by the family of a slain hostage. The event featured appearances by prominent supporters, with some calling Trump 'the first Jewish president' for his pro-Israel stance. Trump highlighted his administration's actions in support of Israel and joked about the value of the Golan Heights, while donors discussed the possibility of him running for a third term. He concluded his speech by invoking the message of Hanukkah and expressing solidarity with the Jewish community.
