New York – Just over a week after a wealthy billionaire made a sizable donation to Israel’s United Hatzalah, another well known business tycoon has followed suit, contributing another four ambucycles to the volunteer EMS corps.

According to Eli Beer, the founder of United Hatzalah, Donald Trump will be donating the emergency rescue bikes tomorrow, inspired by the donation of his close friend Stuart Rahr, as previously reported on VIN News.
“The two are good friends and when Trump saw the video with the dedication of the ambucycles at the end of January he was so inspired he decided to make a donation also,” Beer told VIN News.
Each of the four ambucycles is valued at $26,000. United Hatzalah currently has a fleet of 300 ambucycles and is on a campaign to double that number to 600.
“If we get another 300 we will be able to respond to all emergencies within a minute and a half instead of the three minutes it takes now,” said Beer.
Beer noted that by enlarging its fleet of ambucycles to 600, United Hatzlah will be able to further expand its coverage.
“It is crucial that we buy more,” explained Beer. “We want to give them to volunteers in Beersheva, Ashkelon and Tzefat, cities around the country that don’t have any.”
Beer will be meeting with Trump at his office tomorrow to get the check that will pay for the four new ambucycles.
Beer commended Trump for his donation, adding “he is a true lover of Israel.”

Very nice, Donald.
Donald; your a good man !
Trump eats gourmet chulent with his son-in-law these days. The Kushners have been introducing him to Jewish circles.
Bzchus his daughter (Ivanka) he has been brought this opportunity. Donald Trump is not known for his “love” of Israel or it’s people unless there is a buck to be made. However I can’t take away the fact that he IS giving 100K to an organization that desperatly needs these funds. Thank you Mr Trump.
So now do you believe in “Magic”?
Very cool. Its amazing how its precisely the Billionaires that the media likes to call “Party animals” end up making the most important donations… I hope Hatzolah Israel manages to complete their 600 motorbike goal ahead of schedule.
