Donald Trump’s recent actions in the Middle East suggest a strategic distance from Israel at a time when the country faces growing international criticism for its military campaign in Gaza.
Lourival Sant’Anna, an international affairs analyst, points out that Trump has performed movements that isolate Israel in the region. Among these actions are the agreement with the Houthis bombing campaign in Yemen, a trip to the Arabian peninsula without passing through Israel, and negotiations of a nuclear deal with Iran.
Change of posture and international reactions
At the beginning of his term, Trump was surprised to suggest the expulsion of the Palestinians of Gaza, transforming the territory into a “riviera”. Now, with Netanyahu publicly adopting similar goals, countries such as United Kingdom, France and Canada express concern for Israeli government practices.
The humanitarian situation in Gaza is worse, with reports of collective hunger due to the siege and block of help. Bombings continue to cause civil victims, especially children and women, who make up most of the more than 53,000 dead to date.
Netanyahu, pressed internally by row ministers, maintains his position. In a closed meeting, he would have declared his intention to destroy Palestinian homes to prevent his return, according to the Israeli newspaper The Times of Israel.
The international community apprehends the unfolding of events, while the situation in Gaza continues to deteriorate, raising questions about the future of the region and diplomatic relations between the United States and Israel.
