HaRav Dan Segal: Trump Changed Course Due To Persecution Of Bnei Torah
Jun 16, 2026·1 min read
HaMashgiach HaGaon HaRav Dan Segal attributes President Donald Trump’s sharp reversal in policy toward Iran to the persecution of bnei yeshivos in Eretz Yisrael.
Speaking at a dinner for Keren Olam HaTorah, HaRav Segal said: “We clearly see that when Torah is supported, there is Siyata Dishmaya, and when it is not, there is none.”
“It changes the rules of the game. The same Trump who until now was so helpful to Israelis is now singing a different tune.”
It should be noted that in February 2025, HaGaon HaRav Moshe Shternbuch warned that “our yeshuah won’t come from Donald Trump.”
