Chasidic Leaders' Unusual Remarks to Trump About Netanyahu Revealed

New details have emerged from a closed-door meeting between prominent Chasidic rabbis and Admorim (Hasidic rebbes) and then-U.S. President Donald Trump in the Oval Office approximately two weeks after their historic visit to the United States. The discussions reportedly touched upon Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the selection process for the delegation, and Trump's comments regarding the prosecutor who led to the imprisonment of Sholom Mordechai Rubashkin, a prominent figure in the Chabad Lubavitch community.

According to the report, some of the Admorim expressed reservations about Netanyahu, questioning his commitment to religious values and asking Trump if he also disliked him. This sentiment was reportedly conveyed during the meeting, though the exact phrasing and context are being revealed now. The report suggests that the delegation's composition was also a point of discussion behind the scenes, with efforts made to ensure representation from various Chasidic groups.

Furthermore, the article highlights Trump's remarks to the rabbis about the prosecutor involved in the Rubashkin case. Rubashkin, who was convicted of financial fraud and sentenced to 27 years in prison in 2009, was later released early in 2017 following a commutation of his sentence by President Trump. The details of Trump's conversation with the Admorim about this matter are now being disclosed.

The meeting, which took place in the White House, was considered significant due to the influence of the Chasidic community and their engagement with the U.S. President on issues relevant to them. The report promises further details on these conversations and their implications.
