Is Donald Trump a devoted ally of Israel who will give it whatever it needs to pursue its genocidal goals, or does the US President have other ideas about American interests in the Middle East that could weaken Benjamin Netanhayu’s far-right government?
Ha’aretz writer Liza Rozovsky wrestles with the significance of the meeting between the two men in the White House on April 7, during which the President reminded the PM – Israel is a small country that needs US support.

Despite His Flattery of Trump, Netanyahu Was Dealt the Cold Shoulder in the Oval Office

Given Gaddafi’s eventual fate, the prospect of a nuclear agreement “as it was done in Libya” seems unlikely to entice the leadership in Tehran.
Trump is beholden to his Christian Zionist and Evangelical voter base. They are all keen to see Israel re-conquer ancient Zion / Greater Israel in order to fulfil a condition for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. This does not mean that they have to love Jews, but to get along with Jewish ZionNazis.
Trump has declared that the United States will take ownership of the Gaza strip, and make it into ‘the Riviera of the Middle East’. Netanyahu has presented a plan for a Gaza strip under Israeli military control. These two outcomes are clearly contradictory, so either Trump, or Netanyahu, will have to back down. Nobody so far seems to have followed the full implications of this. It suggests to me that the two leaders will fall out at the point where the contradiction becomes obvious.
