Actor Jon Voight released an “urgent message” Sunday saying President Obama does not love Israel and seeks control over the Jewish state.

“I love Israel. I want to see Israel survive and not be overtaken by the madmen of this world,” Mr. Voight said in a video released to the Just Jared celebrity news website. “President Obama does not love Israel. His whole agenda is to control Israel. And this way he can be friends with all of Israel’s enemies. He doesn’t want [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu to win this upcoming election.”

“America has not been the same since [Mr. Obama’s] presidency. I beg all of you to understand the truth. Those like Yitzhak Herzog who believe that dealmaking is the solution to what Israel faces are as wrong as Neville Chamberlain believing he made a peace deal with Hitler,” said Mr. Voight, referring to the prime minister’s opponent.

“We must learn from history where the true danger lies. I pray to God to keep Israel safe, and America as well. Much love to you,” he concluded.

Mr. Netanyahu sparked controversy in the United States this month when he urged lawmakers during a joint session of Congress not to sign the nuclear deal currently being negotiated with Iran, Newsmax reported. The prime minister is reportedly down in the polls ahead of Tuesday’s election.
