Benjamin Netanyahu has sought to align closely with the Republican Party throughout his political career. As he prepared for a meeting with President Trump, Netanyahu experienced a marked difference in U.S.-Israel relations compared to his previous interactions with President Biden. While Biden imposed certain restrictions on Netanyahu's military actions in Gaza, Trump has removed those limitations, leading to an unbridled support for Netanyahu's agenda. Experts note that the once-voiced concerns regarding humanitarian matters in Gaza have dissipated under the current administration. Additionally, trade tensions, particularly Trump's tariffs affecting Israel, are set to be a focal point in their discussions.
Before President Barack Obama was sworn into office in 2009, Benjamin Netanyahu called the Israeli diplomat Alon Pinkas out of the blue and asked for a lesson in what was essentially a foreign tongue: the language of Democrats.
Netanyahu always thought of himself as some pedigree neocon that belongs in the right wing of the Republican Party.
Where former President Joseph R. Biden Jr. had sought to put some restrictions on Mr. Netanyahu's military campaign in Gaza, the Trump administration has made no such demand.
A lot of concerns that the previous White House kept making about humanitarian aid, about limiting civilian casualties, these concerns are just not voiced anymore.
