"My administration will stand side by side with the Jewish people and Israel's leaders to continue strengthening the bridges that connect not only Jewish Americans and Israelis but all Americans and Israelis," Trump said.
"Together we will stand up to enemies like Iran, bent on destroying Israel and her people. Together we will make America and Israel safe again," he said.
Republican Overseas Israel chairman Mike Zell, who organized the event, introduced the speakers, opening with Israeli political analyst Caroline Glick.
As she spoke, viewers from the United States and Canada posted an endless stream of messages supporting Israel and the Jewish people.
Trump adviser David Friedman quoted a verse from Psalm 128: "May the Lord bless you out of Zion and may you see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life."
An estimated 200,000 Israelis with dual American citizenship are eligible to vote by absentee ballot, a number that could potentially influence the outcome in key battleground states or in the event of a close finish.
