While the fighting goes on, observers note President Trump's election could have a profound impact on Israel's wars and the entire Middle East. Many consider the first Trump administration the most pro-Israel in American history.
- He moved the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem and acknowledged the city as Israel's capital.
- He agreed Israel should possess the strategic Golan Heights.
- His White House pushed for the Abraham Accords, forging alliances between the Jewish nation and former Muslim foes.
One major opportunity in the second Trump administration may be the addition of more nations to the Abraham Accords. Brokering deals between Arab states such as Saudi Arabia and the Jewish state seems the surest way to turn old enemies into allies who will work to end wars so they can do business and prosper together in the region.
Still, this may involve talking the Saudis out of their insistence that Israel first agrees to allow the West Bank and Gaza to become the new nation of Palestine – the so-called "two-state solution."
