The article discusses the changing dynamics of U.S.-Israel relations, marked by President Trump's recent trip to the Gulf states without engaging Israel. Trump's policy shifts include welcoming Syria back into international discussions and reaffirming the nuclear deal with Iran, moves considered unfavorable by Israel. The Israeli government feels overlooked, as it was not consulted on critical decisions like the lifting of sanctions on Syria and negotiations with Iran. Consequently, these developments have amplified tensions between Israel and the U.S., traditionally allies in the region.
Netanyahu's government describes Syria's interim president as a jihadist. There were other initiatives that Israel only learned about when the press did.
Trump has made bold moves in the Middle East without consulting his key geopolitical partner, relegating Israel to the background.
During his trip, the Republican president shifted his Middle East policy by welcoming Syria back into the international community and confirming that the nuclear deal with Iran is on track.
The most recent was his Wednesday meeting with Syria's new leader, Ahmed al Shara, during a tour of Saudi Arabia.
