"US President Donald Trump's praise for Miriam Adelson, a pro-Israel mega-donor, at the Knesset has sparked controversy. Trump's comments, made during a speech on Monday, highlighted Adelson's reported role in pushing for a Gaza ceasefire deal and her alleged influence on US policy towards Israel. Miriam Adelson, a US billionaire with ties to Israel, has been credited by Israeli media with playing a behind-the-scenes role in securing the release of hostages in Gaza. Trump's remarks, which included comments on Adelson's wealth and alleged loyalty to Israel, have raised eyebrows. "Isn't that right, Miriam?" Trump asked, as Adelson was recognized by the Knesset. "She has $60 billion in the bank and she loves Israel," he added. Trump's comments come amid reports of Adelson's involvement in US policy towards Israel, including her alleged influence on the recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights. Miriam Adelson's presence at the Knesset was seen as a 'birthday gift' by some, but it has also sparked questions about her influence and potential conflicts of interest. As the situation continues to unfold, one thing is clear: Miriam Adelson's role in US-Israel relations is being closely watched.",
