The leader of the Republican Jewish Coalition, Matt Brooks revealed on Tuesday that he sees Donald Trump’s call for Israel as a “blank check” to finish the war in Gaza for Jerusalem.

Brooks, RJC CEO, told reporters amid his speech to the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee that Trump’s statement for Israel to quickly end the war against Hamas terrorists has been misinterpreted.

Some have perceived it as for Israel to finish the war without achieving their stated objectives.

But Brooks said this view is not correct as “Everybody misinterprets that statement. What he’s basically saying is, you have a blank check. You need to carpet bomb in the air? Do it. Just get it done, rip the band aid off, finish the job.”
