Jeb Bush, Ted Cruz Critical of Donald Trump’s Neutrality on Israel

We have to have Israel’s back. I’ve made this commitment from day one that I would move the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem because I think we have to send a signal to the world that we have Israel’s back, not just because of the important security relationship we have with Israel but also because the rest of the world wonders if we are serious.

For security purposes, for consistency purposes, we can’t say we are going to be a neutral party. It just won’t work.

Just this week, Donald Trump said on a TV program that he would be neutral between Israel and the Palestinians,

Let me tell you this: As president, I have no intention of being neutral. As president, I will be unapologetically alongside the nation of Israel.

I am not neutral at home between murderers and the innocent citizens murderers are targeting. I am not neutral at home or abroad between radical Islamic terrorists and the targets of their terror.

Trump interview, from this past September:

Hugh Hewitt: And if Israel acts unilaterally against Iran because they view this deal as so bad, will you unequivocally stand by the action of the Netanyahu government?

Trump: Of course, I will. In fact, he’s a friend of mine. I did commercials for his reelection. And according to what he said, I’m the only celebrity, he’s used the word celebrity, this was a while ago, that did commercials, that he asked to do commercials. But he’s a good man, and I would absolutely stand with him.

Here's the campaign ad:
