Pro-Israel billionaire saves Gingrich
An American billionaire and a close ally of Israeli Premier Binyamin Netanyahu has donated USD five million to the electoral campaign of US presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich, infamous for his hawkish anti-Iran stances. - Gingrich's campaign had faltered after he was targeted by a USD 3-million advertising barrage sponsored by Restore Our Future, a Super PAC (political action committee) supporting another presidential hopeful, Mitt Romney. However, on Friday, billionaire Sheldon Adelson rushed to Gingrich's aid by giving a USD five-million check to Winning Our Future, a Super PAC that supports Gingrich.
