Israeli-American billionaire Miriam Adelson, a mega-donor who supported US President Donald Trump during both of his election campaigns, was in the Israeli Knesset as the American leader delivered a speech on Monday.
Mr Trump addressed Israeli politicians on a day of diplomacy tied to the hostage release and peace process in Gaza, before a summit in Egypt. Ms Adelson's presence comes after months of reports in Israeli media about her role behind the scenes of the talks to secure the release of those held captive in Gaza.
Israeli media and hostage advocates have credited her with pushing the Mr Trump towards a deal and continuing to move the matter, along with mediators.
"Isn't that right, Miriam?" Mr Trump asked after boasting he was the president who recognised Jerusalem as Israel's capital and relocated the US embassy from Tel Aviv. She received applause when Mr Trump asked her to stand up.
"I think they had more trips to the White House," he said of Ms Adelson and her husband. "She has $60 billion in the bank and she loves Israel."
He added that she refuses to answer whether she loves the US more than Israel. "They were very responsible for so much, including getting me thinking of the Golan Heights," he said, reasserting Israeli media reports of her involvement in US policy towards Israel. Mr Trump recognised Israeli sovereignty over the occupied territory during his first term in 2019.
"We love you, thank you darling for being here, it's a great honour," he said to Ms Adelson.
She was accompanied by her son, Matan Adelson, and Knesset and Likud Party member Boaz Bismuth, who was previously editor-in-chief of Israel Hayom, an Adelson family-owned newspaper.
Ms Adelson, 80, was born in Tel Aviv and raised in Haifa. Her late husband, Sheldon Adelson, was a major backer of Mr Trump and a singular force in domestic and international politics. Together, they played a crucial role in forming Mr Trump's policies on Israel and provided large amounts of campaign money for the President and other Republican candidates.
She is also a physician and philanthropist with an estimated net worth of $35 billion, according to Israeli reports. Last year, she was the third biggest donor to Mr Trump's campaign, after Elon Musk and billionaire Timothy Mellon.
How to keep control of your emotions
If your investment decisions are being dictated by emotions such as fear, greed, hope, frustration and boredom, it is time for a rethink, Chris Beauchamp, chief market analyst at online trading platform IG, says.
Greed
Greedy investors trade beyond their means, open more positions than usual or hold on to positions too long to chase an even greater gain. “All too often, they incur a heavy loss and may even wipe out the profit already made.
Tip: Ignore the short-term hype, noise and froth and invest for the long-term plan, based on sound fundamentals.
Fear
The risk of making a loss can cloud decision-making. “This can cause you to close out a position too early, or miss out on a profit by being too afraid to open a trade,” he says.
Tip: Start with a plan, and stick to it. For added security, consider placing stops to reduce any losses and limits to lock in profits.
Hope
While all traders need hope to start trading, excessive optimism can backfire. Too many traders hold on to a losing trade because they believe that it will reverse its trend and become profitable.
Tip: Set realistic goals. Be happy with what you have earned, rather than frustrated by what you could have earned.
Frustration
Traders can get annoyed when the markets have behaved in unexpected ways and generates losses or fails to deliver anticipated gains.
Tip: Accept in advance that asset price movements are completely unpredictable and you will suffer losses at some point. These can be managed, say, by attaching stops and limits to your trades.
Boredom
Too many investors buy and sell because they want something to do. They are trading as entertainment, rather than in the hope of making money. As well as making bad decisions, the extra dealing charges eat into returns.
Tip: Open an online demo account and get your thrills without risking real money.
Islamophobia definition
A widely accepted definition was made by the All Party Parliamentary Group on British Muslims in 2019: “Islamophobia is rooted in racism and is a type of racism that targets expressions of Muslimness or perceived Muslimness.” It further defines it as “inciting hatred or violence against Muslims”.
