Casino billionaire Sheldon G. Adelson is claimed to be a main actor of U.S. president Donald Trump' decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
According to the latest reports, Adelson donated $20 million to a political action committee that supported Donald Trump's election campaign in 2016 in exchange for Trump's promise to make the move of the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem a priority as president.
In an article published by the New York Times it was stated that Adelson and other pro-israel backers put great pressure on trump to take the Jerusalem decision as soon as possible, after he became president of the United States.
The pro-Israel businessman is known for his close relationship with Israel's prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and using his casino fortune to influence the Republican Party members with his Zionist ambitions.
