The article presents a range of perspectives from key political figures, allowing for a balanced understanding of the implications of Trump's remarks.

One day after the Israeli Prime Minister's remarks condemning Donald Trump's statements calling for a 'ban on Muslims entering America,' the Republican presidential candidate postponed his trip to Israel. Trump was scheduled to meet with Benjamin Netanyahu on December 28 (17 days from now). He, who enjoys widespread support among a segment of Republican voters, has called for a ban on Muslims entering the United States, comments that have drawn widespread criticism in the United States and other countries. The Israeli Prime Minister's office stated on December 9 that Netanyahu 'condemns' Trump's remarks, but that a pre-scheduled meeting would still take place during Trump's visit to Israel. On December 10, Trump tweeted that he did not intend to 'pressure' the Israeli Prime Minister. He stated, 'I have decided to postpone my trip to Israel and meet with Netanyahu at another time, after I become President of the United States.' In an interview with Fox News, he added, 'I didn't want to put pressure on him.' Reactions to the controversial remarks by the Republican candidate continue. Hillary Clinton, a leading candidate for the Democratic Party in the upcoming presidential election, has once again strongly criticized him. Clinton stated on NBC, 'I think he is no longer even funny.' The former Secretary of State under Barack Obama added, 'The things he says are not only shameful and wrong, but also dangerous.' Reports and polls indicate that the deadly Paris attacks by the 'Islamic State' and the San Bernardino massacre by a couple reportedly influenced by Islamist extremists have increased Trump's popularity. In this context, Trump has called for a ban on Muslims entering the United States. The severe criticism of Trump's statements regarding the 'ban on Muslims' has led Iranian President Rouhani to label the U.S. as a 'supporter of terrorism.' Netanyahu's office condemned Trump's anti-Islam remarks.
