(Free Beacon) The executive director of the anti-Israel Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) pushed the baseless claim that the Jewish state is behind a suspected Iranian plot to assassinate former president Donald Trump.
Nihad Awad asserted that reports of Iran’s plans to kill Trump could instead be an “Israeli plot to ignite another war” in the Middle East. Awad was responding to a report that intelligence officials beefed up Trump’s Secret Service security after learning of Iran’s plans to murder the former president. There’s no indication that the suspected Iranian plot is related to Saturday’s assassination attempt, in which the former president was shot in the ear.
It’s the latest inflammatory anti-Israel statement from Awad, who has contributed to the campaigns of several “Squad” members.
