Trump Turned on Putin. Is Israel’s Netanyahu Next?

In President Donald Trump’s approach first in foreign policy, Israel can seem an exception, a country that gets support even when its policies move away from American interests – or the personal preferences of the president himself. Israeli leaders love to talk about the values ​​that the two countries share, which are definitely part of the interpretation. But there are other reasons as well.

Israel has many supporters within the internal circle of Trump, including Foreign Minister Marco Rubio, Middle East Envoy Steve Witkeov, and Israeli Ambassador Mike Hackabi, as well as many important donors supporters of Israel. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu proved that he was a skill in Trump, as Israel calls settlements after the president was praising his achievements, and playing him on vanity. Netanyahu also has strong support among Republicans in congress and with the supportive media of Trump, such as Fox News, Oan and NewsMax. This combination of media support, support for Congress, and compliments appears to be working for Israel in a major moment, when Trump decided to join Israel in its attempt to destroy Iranian nuclear infrastructure in June.

However, it is not difficult to imagine scenarios as Trump turned his back to Israel. President Mercury has turned to friends over and over again. Canada, Denmark, Germany, and the United Kingdom are only a few of the very close allies who felt his divinity. After many years of praise in Russia and President Vladimir Putin, Trump is now criticizing them, making fun of Russian military ingenuity and calls Ukraine to restore all its lands

The American policy in the Middle East is in line with Israel. The United States formulated separate peace with the Houthis in Yemen, although the group continued its attacks on Israel. In Syria, Trump praised, with the encouragement of the American Gulf allies, Ahmed Al -Shara, the former militant who turned into sanctions and raised sanctions, while Israel bombed Syria, and the Syrian Druze supported against the Chari government, and occupied parts of the previously represented borders.

Gaza in particular can become easily frustrated. Trump assembled Putin to follow an endless war and untefing despite the efforts made by the United States to mediate, which included proposing very favorable deals for Russia, including allowing Moscow to control parts of Ukraine that it seized, prohibited Ukraine’s membership in NATO, and reducing sanctions on Russia. With the support of Trump, Wittouf tried to mediate in the Israeli war, and end the conflict in exchange for launching the hostage enthusiasm. However, Netanyahu insists on destroying complete enthusiasm, a situation that is almost impossible for the group to accept it. Trump’s statements on Thursday that Israel will not be allowed to include the West Bank – as well as the United States’s proposed plan for Gaza, which includes the movement towards the Palestinian state – regarding that the president is ready for reproductive from Israel. Trump has repeatedly announced that he deserved the Nobel Peace Prize, and that Netanyahu (like Putin) is on his way.

Trump is looking for the winners, and it appears that Russia’s failures in Ukraine are subjected to the President to Putin. On the other hand, the positive media coverage of the impressive Israeli military campaign against Iran contributed to the President’s decision to join. But just as we respond to military success, military failure can be born, and it appears that Israel is taking place in Gaza in Gaza militarily with creating a huge humanitarian crisis that is constantly criticizing.

Israel has also completed the United States’ relations with its Gulf allies, which Trump is particularly close. According to Trump, Trump was angry with Netanyahu on Israel’s recent attack on Qatar, which hosts American forces and Trump takes on a plane, declaring, “He has sex with me.”

Netanyahu was not always the perfect loyal Trump. After Prime Minister Joe Biden congratulated his victory in the elections in 2020, Trump criticized and reported in 2021 that he wanted “loyalty” and that Netanyahu “could have remained calm. He made a terrible mistake.” Then Trump added, “He has sex with him.”

Although many of the Republican Foundation strongly supports Israel, this support is more varying between Trump’s base, making America great again (Maga). In July, Maga Margori Taylor Green described Israel’s actions in Gaza “genocide.” Even the Podcast Taker Carlson has suggested this year that the United States must “”[d]Rob Israel “and let it fight its own wars. Trump has repeatedly showed that he has full support for the Republican base, and the president who supported Israel may decide to conceal their support if the president decides to go in a different direction.

Even along with influencers such as Green and Carolson, the Maga movement is open to its hostility towards external aid, and Israel is the leading recipient. In addition, Israel’s support is not particularly popular among the younger Americans: less than 10 percent of adults under the age of 34 have a positive opinion on Netanyahu and Israel’s policies in Gaza.

Israel’s operation is likely to come in the form of a decrease in support and sniping about specific policies rather than a wholesale shift. Even if Trump is offering more to Netanyahu, it is unlikely to cut intelligence cooperation, arms sales, and other basic aspects of the relationship. For his part, Netanyahu announced that Israel should be ready for isolation rather than making concessions on its security.

However, the dangers in front of Israel are great. American assistance is not only financial, but also symbolic, as it indicates both opponents and allies that Israel has the full support of Washington. The reduction in aid would strain the Israeli defense budget and perhaps buy slow advanced systems, while open criticism would encourage Israeli competitors, undermine deterrence, and hold their diplomacy with other partners who take us to the sermon.

In the end, the fate of Israel under Trump will depend on the common strategic interests less than the president’s changing perception of loyalty, success and personal reward. Trump’s tracking record shows that there is no fortified ally of his anger when he feels annoying or when the ally policies hinder his pursuit of glory. As for Israel, this means that even deep military and political relations and political relations do not provide any guarantee to protect from Trump’s mercury impulses.

Low aid, public cash or negotiating may decrease from wholesale rupture, but each of them will erode Israel’s deterrent, encourages his opponents, and indicates other partners that Washington’s commitment can be negotiated. In an area where credibility is a currency, it can prove merely the possibility of giving up by the most important Israeli ally as a reality.
