‘Honey, he’s had enough of you’: Trump’s Mideast moves increasingly seem to sideline Israel

On Friday, a popular Hebrew X account called “News From a Year Ago” tweeted a short video of Donald Trump, then running for US president, from May 2024.

“If any Jewish person voted for Joe Biden, they should be ashamed of themselves,” Trump said in the video. “He’s totally abandoned Israel and nobody can believe it.”

One year later, if there’s a president many Israelis are viewing with disbelief, it’s Trump himself. Trump — who campaigned on his record of good relations with Israel and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — has spent the past month building out a vision for US policy in the Middle East that appears to be sidelining the country and its leader.

    1. Wow and therefore you believe everything he says and obviously Israel is suffeing from TDS if they don't have total trust that he is the savior?!

    2. You'll recall that I said that when he was elected, Bibi would continue to walk on eggshells because in order for Trump to stay pro-Israel, he'd have to accommodate everything Trump wanted and constantly kowtow to him. But in return, Trump would be very pro-Israel which he has been until this point.
      But I also noted that at some point it was likely that Trump would flip to a different priority. However, unlike with Biden, Israel has a brief period of good favour.
