“Alitany of media reports indicate a growing ‘rift’ between U.S. President Donald Trump and Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. After more than 19 months of lockstep American support following Hamas’s terror attack against Israel on October 7, 2023, and through Israel’s ensuing war in Gaza, a change in Washington’s approach appears possible. While the progress Trump has made on Yemen and Syria is good, the region is unlikely to stabilize if the administration is not willing to take bold, independent action on Iran and Gaza. If Trump cannot break with Netanyahu on these issues, Israel will continue to lead U.S. Middle East policy in a direction anathema to American interests. Trump should capitalize on his current momentum in the Middle East to strike a nuclear agreement with Tehran and end American support for the war in Gaza.” (05/21/25)
