Cost of US support for Israel on Donald Trump | Conflict update

Few expected President Donald Trump to abandon Israel during his second term, despite his strong support in his first term. However, his continued backing amid the ongoing Gaza conflict has unsettled some in his base, especially in light of domestic issues like the struggling economy and healthcare costs. Trump has given Israel significant financial aid, with $21bn provided since the conflict started. This support has caused backlash within the MAGA movement, with figures like Tucker Carlson and Marjorie Taylor Greene criticizing Trump’s stance on Israel. The impact of this support on Trump’s electoral prospects remains uncertain.
