Trump welcomes Benjamin Netanyahu this week in the White House. In contrast to the priority of the two countries in the two countries, the tension between the two leaders is completely contrasting.
One of the biggest problems of visits is to maintain vulnerabilization between Israel and Hamas and a hostage relief transaction. We are taking measures for intermediary between Israel and Saudi Arabia. Focus on the threat from Iran.
The first foreign invitation to the White House indicates the priority of the new administration, but Trump has a bad spoiler for years. In early January, Trump shared a video in social media and a speaker who calls Netaniyahu “B —– deep dark son.”
At that time, Trump urged Netanyahu to sign a ceasefire and a hostage release agreement. It was enforced on January 19, the day before Trump was inaugurated.
However, Trump's dissatisfaction with Netaniyahu is derived from Israeli leaders in the 2020 election victory in 2020, and Israel is a deadly US drone strike in January 2020 for Iran's top commander. I refuse to join.
Trump also complains that he has been deprived of his recognition of the historical change in the Middle East during his first semester. The relationship between Israel and the Gulf countries under the flag of the Abraham Agreement. Move the US Embassy to Jerusalem. He recognizes Israel's sovereignty for Goran Heights, which Syria claims.
Nevertheless, Trump exempted from the freezing of confused blankets with a mixture of Israel, and maintained US military sales and relocation to the country. And he canceled the sanctions of Videnn with the extremist Israeli settlers who committed violence against the Palestinians on the west coast of the Jordan River.
“Trump is unpredictable on a good day,” said David Makovsky, a fellow of the Washington Policy Research Institute.
“I'm convinced that Netanyahu is not so confident. He is still worried,” Can he turn on me? ” I think he is working carefully. “
Mr. Trump says he wants to be a “Peace Director” in the world, suggesting that solving a dispute in the Middle East is easier than a transaction to end the war in Ukraine in Russia. Was stated.
“Prime Minister Netanyafu is a sign of President Trump's preference, but he does not read his first visitors as his relevance, but his relevance will increase,” Israel's policy. Rachel Brandenburg, a forum's Washington Managing Director and Senior Fellow, said Rachel Brandenburg.
“President Trump wants Prime Minister Netaniyahu, and gives him a gift of being the first leader is probably a part of its exchange.”
Here are three things to see the surrounding Trump and Netanyahu meeting.
Gaza stop fire
The meeting is the most important point of the ceasefire agreement. Negotiators are expected to start discussions for the second stage of transactions, which are likely to lead to the end of the war.
Hamas promised the group to release 33 hostages invited from Israel during the attack on October 7, which seems to last six weeks. Dozens of people, including Israeli soldiers and the United States, Edan Alexander, will be released in the second stage of the contract.
Closing the eternal end of the war between Israel and Hamas is a proposal full of pitfalls. It is necessary by Israel to accept Hamas's army in the Gaza area with the Palestinian and the Arab world that is legal.
Saudi Arabia
Trump's motivation to see the ceasefire of Israel Hamas is his goal of establishing a relationship between the Middle East Power Dynamics Game Changer and the Saudi Arabia, which is considered as a major defense against Iran. It is wrapped.
However, Riyad has been building a brokerage with Israel, which is a condition of seeing a route tied to the trusted time of the Palestinian state.
Public opinion poll It was released last month Most of the Jews in Israel have opposed the establishment of the Palestinian state. Netanyahu will also face the collapse of his rule if the far -right member who refuses the Palestinian state leaves the government.
Steve Witkov, a special mission of Trump in the Middle East,According to where it was conveyedIn Saudi Arabia, before traveling to Israel to meet Netanyafu, he was with Palestinian President Muffmood Abbas adviser adviser.
Sila Efron, a senior director of the Israeli Policy Forum policy research, how to expand into a greater goal of normalization between Israel and Saudi Arabia, a way to end the war with Hamas. He said there was a sign of planning about.
“”[Israeli Minister of Strategic Affairs] Ron Darmer, the closest ally of Netanyahu, and speaks Washington, talks the next day. Of course, there are many hoops to jump on the way, “she said.
“However, this is because the ceasefire contract will actually release all other locks that need to be made, so I think that this ceasefire contract must be kept and pushed to the end. We are definitely not out of the dangerous zone. “
Iran
Netanyafu gives Israel a green light and probably pushes Trump to support military strikes against Iran. Israeli leaders regard the support of Iranian terrorism and pursuing nuclear weapons as the biggest existing threat of Israel.
“From Israel, one of the important issues on the table is Iran,” Efron said. “Netanyafu says,” This is the top priority here. Please support the support for attacking Greenlight and Iran. “
Trump refused to answer questions about whether he would support Iranian military attacks, and said, “Only stupid people will answer questions about military strategies.”
However, Trump also talks about diplomacy with Iran, believing that the country may have joined Abraham, and wants to do another nuclear trading. November, high -tech billionaire Iron Musk, closely Trump allies, According to what was conveyed, I met the Iranian ambassador To the United Nations to relieve tension between Washington and Tehran.
“Netanyahu's instinct is to look for military options about Iran, and Trump's instinct is to use a large -scale economic pressure for Iran. These two approaches are cross -purpose. I don't think it's necessary, “said Makovsky.
“Trump can say,” I want to solve diplomatic solutions through sanctions and diplomacy, “but if that doesn't work, I think Israel is waiting on the wings. “
