Donald Trump's recent trip to the Middle East notably excluded Israel, raising questions about the U.S. commitment to its ally. By focusing on Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar instead, Trump signaled that Israeli concerns might not be his priority. Although many Israelis initially supported Trump's policies and welcomed his reelection, recent negotiations with Iran have tested those beliefs. This situation points toward a growing divide between U.S. and Israeli interests under Trump's administration, particularly regarding Iran's nuclear program, which Netanyahu vehemently opposes.
By passing over the country, Trump gave a clear signal that Israel's concerns are not his top priority in the Middle East, and perhaps haven't been for some time.
Most Israelis welcomed Trump's reelection: Almost two-thirds of them believed he would support their interests more than Kamala Harris would, and with good reason.
