The chiefs of the Israeli-American Council, who arranged the ceremony, had earlier been given an award by President Trump, and this fact couldn't be disregarded by eagle-eyed news readers. They cheekily stated Ivanka's "honour" is all about a quid pro quo and doesn’t necessarily represent an appreciation of her work and attitude toward Israel.
Ivanka Trump, POTUS' eldest daughter and senior White House adviser was awarded the "Friend of Israel Award" by the Israeli-American Council (IAC) in Las Vegas on Tuesday, hardly had the most known women empowerment advocate delivered her speech at the iconic CES technology show.
The merits that the award is given for are "the support for Zionism and Jewish values".
As the IAC put it, the award, presented by the organisation and GOP donors Sheldon and Miriam Adelson, was given to Trump because she "has shown a strong positive connection to the State of Israel as well as believes in the importance of the friendship between the US and Israel and works to strengthen the alliances between the people of the United States and the people of Israel".
However, in comments to The Jerusalem Post, IAC CEO Shoham Nicolet opted for a more emotional tone saying "as a successful businesswoman and entrepreneur, Ivanka has been an inspiration for both women in leadership and family values".
Ivanka Trump, who converted to Judaism to marry her Orthodox Jewish husband Jared Kushner, poured out thanks in return, naturally, expressing what a "tremendous honour it is" to receive the award, as she told the newspaper in written comments, adding "with conviction that there is no greater friend to Israel than President Trump".
The award was immediately heartily laughed off on Twitter:
"LOL!!!! It's an award from the Adelsons....like getting an award from your mommy and daddy", one posted tauntingly, with others replying similarly. Some assumed the Israelis are attempting to “get to the King” through his close relative – "old game", another user exclaimed!

Billionaires, Russian oligarchs, Ukrainian ambassadors, international financiers, the Rothschilds, and glitterati of all sorts gathered at the 2019 gala for the World Jewish Congress, as reported by Jewish Voice and others
The gathering represented unparalleled power & wealth (and not a little corruption)… martialled on behalf of Israel…
By Alison Weir
The World Jewish Congress (WJC), which calls itself "The Representative Body of over 100 Jewish Communities Worldwide," held its annual gala at the Pierre hotel in New York City on Nov. 6.
It bestowed its annual Theodor Herzl Award (named after Israel's founding father) on former U.S. Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley for her work on behalf of Israel. Some previous awardees have been Joe Biden and Henry Kissinger.
One of the WJC's main issues is support for Israel. Among its many activities in this realm, it collaborates with the Israeli government to defend Israel from criticisms of its human rights abuses and discriminatory system.
The WJC defines many factual statements about Israel to be "antisemitic," and labels legitimate opposition to Israeli violence and oppression against Palestinians "antisemitism." As a result, its top issue, combating "antisemitism," often consists of efforts to suppress information about Israel's oppression of Palestinians and to combat efforts on behalf of Palestinian human rights.
At one of its recent international conferences to oppose this newly defined "antisemitism," US Special Envoy Elan Carr proclaimed that every law enforcement office and every prosecutorial agency throughout the world must "force everybody who has even a hint of antisemitism to undergo a tolerance program." (More on this below).
A Glittering Guest List
The Jewish Voice described the recent World Jewish Congress gala in New York:
"It's 6 PM on Wednesday November 6th in New York City and dozens of Secret Service are gathered at the Pierre to protect billionaires, politicians and global influencers at one of the premier evenings of the year."
JV reports that "the illustrious guest list was unparalleled," and provides a lineup that represents extraordinary wealth and power (and, in a number of cases, diverse types of malfeasance).

• Thomas J. Tisch (net worth $121 million, former chancellor of Brown University, son of billionaire Laurence Tisch, former CEO of CBS)
• Leonard Lauder ($21 billion net worth, elder son of Estee Lauder)
