‘October 7 was a turning point’: Trump’s pro-Israel fundraising accelerates
ALMOST AS SOON AS PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN announced he would halt a weapons shipment to Israel, Steve #Witkoff’s iPhone started buzzing.
“Every one of my friends started calling and asking, ‘What can I do for Donald Trump?’” Witkoff, a pro-Israel donor and fundraiser for Trump’s presidential campaign, told The Bulwark.

Last month the New York Times reported on a dinner Donald Trump had with a small group of donors,
-- including large backers of his 2016 campaign, Robert #Mercer and his daughter Rebekah Mercer.
Other attendees included entrepreneur Omeed #Malik, cosmetics firm founder Trish #McEvoy and real estate billionaire Richard #Kurtz.
In April the Mercers and Malik were among a few dozen co-chairs of a Trump fundraising dinner hosted by John #Paulson, along with other notable co-chairs including Wilbur #Ross, Steve #Wynn, Howard #Lutnick, Robert #Wood, Kelly #Loeffler, Kenny #Troutt and Linda #McMahon – who is also a board director of Trump Media which owns Truth Social.
The Trump campaign claimed it raised over $50 million at the event.
Donald Trump is facing a cash crunch that puts him at a severe disadvantage to President Joe Biden
No surprise that in March he dined with a small group of donors
including hedge fund billionaire Robert #Mercer and his daughter Rebekah, according to two people with knowledge of the event.
Trump’s dinner companions also included entrepreneur Omeed #Malik, cosmetics firm founder Trish #McEvoy and real estate management billionaire Richard #Kurtz, one of the people said.
The Mercers, McEvoy and Kurtz did not respond to requests for comment. A spokesperson for Malik declined to comment, and a Trump spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment.
The Mercers were a critical source of support behind Trump’s win in the 2016 presidential election. The family was conspicuously quiet during Trump’s 2020 reelection effort.
But both Robert and Rebekah Mercer have lent their names for an invitation to a high-dollar fundraiser April 6, along with Malik. And their appearance with Trump at the dinner is additional evidence of a rekindled relationship

The Mercers were a critical source of support behind Mr. Trump’s win in the 2016 presidential election.
In addition to giving donations, they pushed him to make changes to his political team, including making #Kellyanne #Conway his campaign manager and #Stephen #Bannon his chief executive.
