ZIONIST ORGANIZATION OF AMERICA IN THE MEDIA   ZOA Honors Trump With Rarely Given Herzl Award for His Great Pro-Israel Work – Joins Ranks of Balfour, Truman, Begin, Meir, Ben-Gurion By Lauren Shank (NOVEMBER 3, 2022 / CNS NEWS) – The Zionist Organization of America (ZOA), the leading major American Jewish organization defending Israel and the Jewish people, will award former President Donald J. Trump the Theodor Herzl Gold Medallion for his “unprecedented accomplishments on behalf of Israel and the Jewish-American community” at its Nov. 13 Superstar Gala in New York City. “ZOA rarely awards the Theodor Herzl Gold Medallion,” ZOA National President Morton A. Klein said in a press release. “It has been presented only to other renowned world leaders and dignitaries like Lord Balfour, Winston Churchill, Harry Truman, David Ben-Gurion, Golda Meir, Menachem Begin, and Sheldon G. Adelson.” “As a champion of Israel and the Jewish people, President Trump is certainly worthy of being in that company,” said Klein. Trump’s achievement of forging the Abraham Accords, which established peace between Israel and Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Morocco and Sudan, would merit the honor alone, ZOA Board Chairman David Schoen said. “But President Trump has achieved so much more,” Schoen continued. “Adhering to American law previously ignored by presidents of both political parties, he relocated the U.S. Embassy to Israel’s eternal capital, Jerusalem.”   Read More   President Trump Is the Greatest President Ever for Israel and American Jews | Opinion By Morton A.
