Band members with disabilities rushed to embrace President Donald Trump on Saturday at the Israeli American Council National Summit.

The president addressed those gathered at the summit, which billionaire Sheldon Adelson hosted, telling them they must vote for him in the 2020 election to protect Israel. The president closed his remarks by asking God to bless Israel.

“So many of you voted for people in the last administration,” Trump said, according to Breaking Israel News. “Someday you’ll have to explain that to me because I don’t think they liked Israel too much.”

“After eight years of which our alliance was undermined and neglected, I am happy to report the United States-Israeli relationship is stronger now than ever before,” Trump added.

His remarks were followed by a performance of “God Bless America” by the Shalva band, a popular Israeli religious singing group composed of artists with special needs, Breaking Israel News reported.

Video footage showed members of the band rushing to embrace Trump after they finished their song.
