Donald Trump’s policies have historically aligned with strong support for Israel, and if re-elected or further involved in policymaking, his administration’s approach is expected to continue benefiting Israel in several key ways:

1. Diplomatic Support and Recognition of Sovereignty
Trump’s administration made unprecedented moves to solidify Israel’s sovereignty, most notably by recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and relocating the U.S. embassy there in 2018. This act not only strengthened Israel’s claims over Jerusalem but also encouraged other nations to consider similar moves. Future policies may expand on this by reinforcing Israeli claims in disputed territories, potentially supporting full annexation of parts of the West Bank.
2. Normalization Agreements (Abraham Accords)
Trump brokered normalization agreements between Israel and several Arab nations, including the UAE, Bahrain, Sudan, and Morocco. These accords reshaped the geopolitical landscape, fostering economic and military cooperation between Israel and its neighbors. A continuation of this policy could see further Arab nations recognizing Israel, isolating hostile actors like Iran and bolstering Israel’s regional influence.
3. Military and Security Assistance
Trump maintained a strong commitment to Israel’s qualitative military edge (QME) by approving arms sales and military technology transfers, such as advanced fighter jets and missile defense systems. His administration also increased security aid to Israel, ensuring its defense capabilities remained superior in the region. Future policies could lead to expanded military cooperation and joint defense initiatives against mutual threats, primarily Iran.
4. Tough Stance on Iran
Trump’s withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal (JCPOA) in 2018 was widely seen as a victory for Israel, which opposed the agreement. By imposing maximum pressure through sanctions, Trump limited Iran’s financial resources and hindered its nuclear ambitions. A return to Trump-era policies would likely continue efforts to block Iran’s nuclear development and its regional aggression, directly benefiting Israel’s security.
5. Countering Anti-Israel Movements
Trump’s administration actively fought against movements like Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS), labeling it as anti-Semitic. His policies ensured the U.S. did not fund international organizations that disproportionately targeted Israel. Future initiatives may further pressure international bodies to reduce their bias against Israel and push for reforms in institutions like the United Nations.
6. Economic Cooperation
Trump facilitated increased economic cooperation between the U.S. and Israel by promoting joint ventures in technology, defense, and energy. Expanded trade agreements and innovation partnerships are likely to continue, enhancing Israel’s economy and technological advancements.
Conclusion
Trump’s policies have consistently aligned with Israel’s interests, reinforcing its sovereignty, security, and regional standing. A continuation of these policies would likely deepen the U.S.-Israel alliance, counter Israel’s adversaries, and promote long-term stability in the Middle East.
