Dallas Mavs owner Miriam Adelson praised by Trump before Israeli parliament

Trump credited Miriam Adelson for shaping key U.S. Israel policies and supporting 2023 hostage recovery efforts involving Hamas, highlighting their long-standing political influence.

  • On Monday, President Donald Trump thanked Dr. Miriam Adelson at the Knesset, praising her as a `Wonderful woman` and honoring her late husband Sheldon Adelson's legacy.
  • The Adelsons' yearslong backing helped shape Trump's recognition of Jerusalem, the U.S. embassy move and endorsement of Golan Heights sovereignty, with Trump noting their near open-door White House access.
  • The Adelsons' financial clout is substantial and well-documented, with Miriam Adelson donating over $200 million in 2020 and contributing $90 million to a Trump Super PAC after 2021.
  • Adelson traveled to Israel as part of the hostage exchange under a recently brokered ceasefire assisted by President Donald Trump, with twenty hostages returned and the last survivors arriving Monday.
  • Trump’s Knesset shout-out highlights donors' unusual diplomatic visibility as a senior U.S. official said Miriam Adelson urged him to press for hostages in 2023.
