Trump and Netanyahu's Alliance: A New Era in U.S.-Israel Relations

President Trump's support for Netanyahu sets a contrasting tone from previous administration dealings with Israel.


The recent meeting between President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu marks a significant shift toward a stronger alliance, as Trump pledges unwavering support for Israel and its military actions.

As he sat next to President Trump on Tuesday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel displayed a rare smile, reflecting the substantial concessions he received during his visit to the White House. Unlike the previous administration under President Biden, which imposed certain pressures on Netanyahu, Trump demonstrated a clear shift in policy that favored the Israeli leader.

The meeting underscored a renewed Franco-Israeli alliance, with Trump designating Netanyahu as the first foreign leader to meet him since resuming power a little over two weeks ago. The previous president had delayed engagements with Netanyahu for 18 months, showcasing a notable transformation in diplomatic relations.

During their discussions, Trump explicitly indicated that he would refrain from contesting Israel's military operations against Hamas, even if those actions jeopardize the current cease-fire. Moments before Netanyahu's arrival, Trump signed an order reinstating a "maximum pressure" campaign against Iran, affirming his commitment to preventing the nation from advancing its nuclear capabilities.

Trump also reiterated his ambition to facilitate diplomatic ties between Israel and Saudi Arabia, aligning with Netanyahu's priorities while simultaneously dismissing the notion of establishing a Palestinian state. This marks a decisive move against the Biden administration's policies concerning Palestinian relations, showing a clear alignment with Netanyahu's viewpoints.

Analysts noted that the meeting illustrated the seamless cooperation between Israel and the U.S. Aaron David Miller, a former Middle East peace negotiator, emphasized how Netanyahu emerged from the White House as one of the most content leaders. The visit solidified the notion that there are currently no significant rifts between U.S. and Israeli policies.
