The return of Donald Trump to the presidency of the United States could continue to strengthen Israel’s defense in the diplomatic arena. Israel expected his victory because he is one of the most pro-Israel presidents in American history.
This opinion was expressed on News1 and also mentioned five reasons why Trump’s return to the White House is good for Israel.
Support for Israel and its security
Trump has been one of the staunchest defenders of Israel’s security. During his previous term, historic measures were taken, such as the move of the United States embassy to Jerusalem, which marked the important recognition of the city as the capital of Israel. Trump also withdrew from the Iran nuclear deal, imposing tough sanctions on Tehran. These measures have limited Iran’s development of nuclear weapons, posing an existential threat to Israel, especially in the context of the current war.
Normalization of relations with Arab countries
During his time in office, Trump initiated the Abraham Accords, a series of agreements to normalize relations between Israel and Arab countries such as the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Morocco and Sudan. These agreements have opened new opportunities for cooperation in areas such as the economy, security and technology. Trump is expected to continue strengthening normalization and bringing more Arab countries to establish diplomatic relations with Israel.
Tough stance towards Iran
Trump has demonstrated a tough stance against Iran, leading to the imposition of economic sanctions and a reduction in Iran’s ability to fund terrorist organizations in the region. This policy weakened Iran and reduced the threat from groups such as Hezbollah and Hamas. Israel views Iran as a major threat to its security and the Trump administration has actively supported efforts to contain the threat.
Deepening economic cooperation
Trump has promoted greater economic cooperation between the United States and Israel. He encouraged American investment in Israel and supported cooperation in technology, security and medicine. This cooperation will help strengthen the Israeli economy and create new jobs, especially in the high-tech and defense industries.
Impact on the UN and international organizations
Trump has criticized the UN and many international organizations for their often biased stance against Israel. He withdrew the United States from the UN Human Rights Council, citing its “anti-Israel bias.” This step became an important political support for Israel in the fight against unjust convictions in international institutions.
According to the portal, Trump’s return to the White House could continue his diplomatic support for Israel on the world stage. His policies toward Israel and the Middle East remain important to the stability of the region.
