Clinton told to 'distance herself from Obama's Israel policies'

Israeli-American billionaire Haim Saban, a close friend and major donor of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, expressed concern that she was not doing enough to win the Jewish vote, according to a new email released by WikiLeaks.

In an email sent to senior Clinton staffer Huma Abedin in June of 2015, Saban wrote that, due to a drop in Jewish support for the U.S. president, "she needs to differentiate herself from Obama on Israel" and that this could be done without criticizing the president.

Saban advised Clinton to "speak strongly against anti-Semitism, and [the] boycott" and "reaffirm the U.S. commitment to Israel's security [and] anything else your research tells you the Jewish community is sensitive to."

Saban also noted then-Republican primary candidate Senator Marco Rubio's attempt to woo Jews in his home state of Florida, emailing a Clinton staffer a quote in which Rubio promised that if elected president, he would "do whatever it takes to help the people of Israel survive and prosper as a Jewish state."

"Let's not allow them [Republicans] to steal the Jewish vote from us," Saban wrote.
