Trump attracts the nicest of people
Israeli far-right minister backs Trump because of action against Iran
Itamar Ben-Gvir, the far-right Israeli national security minister, says he’s backing former US President Donald Trump in the November election because he’ll support action against Iran.
“I believe that with Trump, Israel will receive the backing to act against Iran,” Ben-Gvir told Bloomberg News. “With Trump, it will be clearer that enemies must be defeated.”
The Israeli minister – a settler and leader of the nationalist Jewish Power party – has taken a hard line against Israel’s adversaries in the Middle East, including Hezbollah and Hamas, and spoken out vehemently against any ceasefire to halt the war on Gaza.
Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said there’s a “pyromaniac” in Israel’s government who is “trying to ignite the Middle East” – an apparent reference to Ben-Gvir.

I doubt Trump is interested in open war with Iran, but he'll definitely stoke up the flames further.
